Play with your food: Have a watermelon seed spitting contest

by Stefani Pollack, Posted May 19th 2008 @ 4:00PM

According to 2camels.com, the standing record for watermelon seed spitting is 68 feet and 9 1/8 inches set by Luling, Texas local Lee Wheells in 1989. I can't even imagine spitting that far. Sure, it's gross, but you've got a take a minute and be impressed with that skill. I wonder what the practice regiment was for that.

Looking to start a new family tradition? How about hosting your own Memorial Day watermelon seed spitting contest? Be sure to measure how far the seed goes so that you can track progress over the years. Make sure to not buy those new-fangled seedless watermelons. Those are no fun!

Let me know how long your family's winning seed spitter performs.
