Fun fact: cucumbers and watermelons are actually part of the same family: the cucurbitaceae.

Watermelons are vegetables...
...tomatoes are fruit.... -
Makes sense. The watermelon is like a playdoh ball then you just flatten it to a snake to get the cucumber

That was actually God's process when he created them 6000 years ago.

Holy shit. First time seeing someone who also thinks this. 😮
That's why I don't like cucumber but I love pickles. What if I pickled the rhind of a watermelon... 🤔
-
That's actually a thing

Yep, I have a friend who pickles watermelon rind. It's delicious. I mean, it tastes like pickles and the texture is similar to cucumbers.

My family pickles watermelons, for generations. They are delicious.

Go one step further: pickle the whole watermelon like Hungarians do.
-
Right? I do like cucumbers though because I’m committing to that flavor and it’s still watery and refreshing. But when it happens at the end of enjoying a sweet juicy watermelon, it’s not great.

In Spain, it is common to say that you got a "cucumber-y" watermelon when it is not sweet.
-
Can’t you make pickles from watermelon rind?
-
It should be mentioned that Americans and Europeans seldom talk about the exact same thing when talking about cucumbers. The most common cucumber type in the US is a spiky bitter thing with a thick rind, while the most common in Europe is softer with a smooth rind, more watery and often much sweeter in taste (the type which Americans for some reason call the English cucumber).

Then the OP makes sense. Because the white part of a watermelon tastes nothing like cucumber.

I love cucumber, and I enjoy chewing on watermelon rind
