Is he eating the rind? That's where the good stuff is.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

I didn't realize "watermelon gentlemen" had even supposed benefits.
Or even what "watermelon gentlemen" were.

What? You never made a watermelon gentleman when you were a kid? You've lived up North too long! Down here where it hardly ever snows, we never get a chance to make snowmen. So it's a summer tradition to make watermelon gentlemen instead. I have three of them out in the front yard today.

They talked about this on Regis and Kelly this morning. Regis had ordered tomato soup yesterday and would told it had watermelon in it!
He hadn't heard of the "extra benefit" he might get from consuming it.
What will they think of next?? I think it's a hoax.
