People Online Say Watermelon Tastes Better With Salt On It

Maybe it’s because I live in a colder climate where we only have hot weather for three to four months of the year— but HEY, I like watermelon too. 

As you’re aware, watermelon is incredibly sweet. So it’s not surprising that a lot of people think watermelon tastes better with salt. It’s the whole sweet and savory thing! 

The whole internet is debating about their watermelon preferences
