Hello All,
Watermelon...
Twenty five years back I worked in a supermarket. Many things that
consumers buy from a "cooled" display case, never see that kind of cool
storage prior to purchase.
We kept eggs by the gross on pallets, along with margarine, watermelons,
etc.
There simply is not enough room to store all things in the cold, that
people expect cold.
I have never seen a watermelon that had not been transported, stored and
sold at room temperature.
Later,
Tom
