Putting meat as a choice really wasnt wise. Alot of GSers arent going to take this serious....
At any rate, i vote Fruit because Wiki says so... Shalashaska77
But wiki is unreliable!   Its a vegetable,        "Watermelon is a member of the cucurbitaceae plant family of gourds (classified as citrullus lantus) related to the cucumber, squash and pumpkin. It is planted from seeds or seedlings, harvested, and then cleared from the field like other vegetables."

My point is that a watermelon is a vegetable, not a fruit. I guess i just dont you guys making a fool of yourself's next time somone asks you what it is.
I believe the general rule of thumb is if it has seeds, it's a fruit. Watermelon is a fruit, a tomato is a fruit and I believe a cucumber is also considered a fruit.

Seriously though, it can be considered a fruit or a vegetable. It's not a big deal, let it go.

I don't think he read the article he quoted from. In big bold letters at the top is says "Watermelon is a fruit" as a title and goes on to explain why.

The article quoted was PDF file that lists WIki as a source. My source is http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=CILAL which confirms that the watermelon is indeed a vegetable.
Frankenstein was the creator not the monster. The watermelon is a vegetable not a fruit. You can cry underwater. Any other questions?danabo
If you classify all vegetation that you plant and harvest as a vegetable then yes. But otherwise, no. A fruit by definition is the reproductive organ of a plant. That's what a watermelon is.

I could have missed it but I didn't see anywhere on that link that referred to it as a vegetable. They called it a plant many times, but not a vegetable, or a fruit for that matter.

Oh lord. Then you don't understand scientific classification. Look at this list of vegetable names: Go to http://www.hri.ac.uk/enveg/data/raw/vegdata.htm Then scroll down to Cucurbitaceae.... Family Cucurbitaceae -- Cucumber family Genus Citrullus Schrad. -- watermelon Species Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsumura & Nakai -- watermelon Variety Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsumura & Nakai var. lanatus -- watermelon

I don't find any vegtables that sweet and I find basically all fruits sweet. So I would go with fruit and I know I'm right. I don't know how Tomato is a fruit though. :|

:| :| :| For the last time. It is a scientific fact that the watermelon is a vegetable. I have provided direct links to university and government websites above that prove this.
