Before you comment: Yes, I know the music is very loud in comparison to the voices. This is a now five-year-old video, and I definitely have learned and grown since this! Please turn subtitles on to understand us better!

    I have now added subtitles to this video. Please let me know if I need to adjust them at all. Hope this helps!

    I can't for the life of me understand why it's necessary to add music to a video. It's usually too loud and just as in the case of this video it sounds like you're trying to talk over the music to be heard...and I'd like to hear what you're trying to teach but I can't and won't turn up the music to try and hear you speak louder. So I suggest next time you put a video together skip the music and just teach from your heart. I could only take 36 seconds of unnecessary music and I had to stop and type (instead).

    Now I'm gonna do a search for a video that teaches me how to pick a watermelon.
  • I agree, please lower or remove background music. Very interesting video, however. I enjoyed it.
  • @djmove2
    Appreciate the information. Unfortunately, the music interferes with what you're trying to convey, especially when you were tapping the watermelons for sound.
  • @MrKaYo323
    Would be nice if we could hear what you're saying instead of the music.
  • Interesting and informative. You put in a lot of preparation and work - and yes - LOOSE THE MUSIC, as if you didn't already know, sorry! Great video overall!
  • @bleavinme2
    Excellent video and tips, unfortunately the music was too distracting from the video content. Thank you for the vid.
  • @imstelios
    I'm more confused than ever but appreciated your effort.
  • @jewlen9274
    Great to see someone put to the test different methods of checking for ripeness of a watermelon. Would loved to had been able to hear more of what ya'all were saying though.
  • @justachick3114
    love the test. ya dont need the background music. great idea!
  • I had trouble hearing the dialog. The music was too loud. But, thanks for the research!
  • @Amit_Das_
    Very nice! Next time when I am going to store to buy a watermelon 🍉, I have to dig a hole, taste it and check sugar content using a refractometer before buying. I hope store manager will help me during that process.
  • @patriciasanto87
    its a really good video but the sound of the music is too loud, it makes difficult to understand what you guys are saying!
  • @mikeylorene
    Informative videos should always be devoid of music so you don't lose your audience.
  • @pacificH2O
    Hi Stacy...great vid. It would be nice if the music was softer. It's hard to concentrate on what your saying. Thx!
  • @anwarhussain3696
    Very Important info...we were all waiting! Music n ' eating up your words ' ...killed it!!! Our tome is Valuable!!!!!!
  • I can't believe I watched the whole thing and still don't know how to pick a watermelon at the grocery store. :(

    Mainly 90% is the how the batch of watermelons are overall. I have worked 40 years in the business and if a bin comes in with good melons they are all usually good or all usually bad. The only empirically scientific way to get a better melon is to hit one side and put you hand on the other side feeling for a vibration, or a hollow sound. This is an indicator that the inside is crisp, crunchy and not mushy or over ripe. The down side is it only prevents you from buying a bad one but crisp doesn't mean it will be red ripe. But you now have increased your odds to buy an edible melon. Look for melons that don't have a green stem. A yellow bottom means the melon got good sunlight. That's the best you can do other than ask how they are coming in:)
