The watermelon spears always look so good, but I have yet to have a good one. They are always dry, hard, and not juicy at all.
Always a dissapointment :(. I keep buying them in hopes that this time they will be different. I really need to stop wasting my money.

This has to change. The watermelon is too hard to even bite into or even chew. Horrible.

I don’t know what those things are made of, but they are definitely something produced in a lab. Get rid of that junk. They only look sweet and ripe, but when you bite into one, it tastes like a sweetened white potato. It is not a natural food, and I don’t care what anyone says. I grew up watermelon harvesters and drivers. VERY DISSAPOINTED that TJ’s is trying shove those off as something good

I have been encountering this for about 4 years now. I always get tricked because I get a great package for about 2 weeks out of the summer. Any time before and especially after it taste like some type of genetically modified garbage or something that has been frozen for a year and then sold to customers.
I Love Trader Joe’s and this would really put it over the top for me considering watermelon is one of my favorite things. They really need to adress this issue and the overall quality of their fruit items in general.

Second time I have had these…EXTREMELY unusual texture and taste. (Nothing close to watermelon).Possibly engineered? Dense texture with a cross taste between a carrot and a radish.

I’ve had this a number of times and didn’t focus too much on it, but this batch today is super crunchy and drove to to the internet to query — why is TJ watermelon so crunchy? Which I was going to follow up with, is it GMO? It’s definitely NOT like the watermelon the guys sell around the neighborhood here. Age old tradition that the growers will come to Harlem and sell on the streets. COMPLETELY different animal. I think I’m done with TJ watermelon spears.

If I could give it a minus star rating I would.
Trader Joe’s sliced water melons are the worst I’ve ever tasted.. what are you trying to do kill us off slowly? These are for sure un natural and grown somewhere with bed intentions. Why, why would you allow these to be sold on your shelves ?? I know how fresh fruits are supposed to taste, and these I wouldn’t even feed to a stray cat. Watermelon is supposed to be refreshing, hydrating with an in between soft to crunchy texture….
Something so simple like this can make someone seriously I’ll and cause other issues within the digestive system..
What race are you targeting I wonder don’t need to think too hard on that one.
