I was frankly surprised at how good this was, but had volunteered to bring a melon to a potluck got a dozen people. It was the only melon I could find anywhere for an online pickup. I found the taste was sweet and not mushy texture. It was just enough in 4 inch chunks served in a flat Pyrex rectangular pan because there was NO WASTE. Unlike most large melons, where only the heart is sweet, the flavor was consistently sweet down to the white rind. Will try it again!

The watermelon was not that great, perhaps we’re not in full season yet. The watermelon flavor was not quite there yet and the middle of the fruit looked cloudy. I think I’ll wait for full season to improve the taste. It just seems like a waste of money at this time.

Watermelon at Sam’s is hit or miss. You are taking a chance when purchasing this item. We have had good and bad melons from Sam’s. You can get your money back in the event that you pick one that is not so crisp or juicy, but then you’ve wasted your time and you have no melon for the family. I would not recommend these unless you have a kit of time in your hands and don’t really care if you have a good melon or not.

I am beyond disappointed and frustrated with the consistently poor quality of watermelons being sold at Sam's Club. Time and time again, the watermelons are either severely under-ripe, overly ripe, flavorless, mushy, or completely unfit for consumption. Customers should not have to gamble every time they purchase produce, especially when paying premium prices from a retailer of this size and reputation. What is most insulting is that consumers are left absorbing the loss. Instead of receiving fresh, high-quality produce, we are being sold products that often end up directly in the trash — wasting not only money, but also time and trust. This reflects a complete failure in quality control and raises serious concerns about the standards Sam's Club accepts from its produce suppliers. If growers cannot consistently provide quality produce, then Sam's Club needs to reevaluate who they are doing business with immediately. It is unacceptable for suppliers to push inferior or borderline-spoiled produce onto customers simply to recoup their own losses. Consumers should never be treated as a dumping ground for substandard products. I will no longer purchase watermelons from Sam's Club. Customers shop there expecting freshness, reliability, and value — not repeated disappointment and wasted money. A company of this magnitude should have far higher standards and far greater accountability when it comes to the quality of the food it sells. Customers deserve fresh, high-quality produce every single time, not excuses, inconsistency, and frustration. I wouldn't eat this if I were stranded in the desert.

It was a terrible watermelon
