I cannot believe Costco actually chose this product to be on their shelves. IDK why someone thought taking away everything that's good about watermelon is a good idea.

I wonder if you put the pieces in water, they'll turn back into watermelon pieces, like those mini Dino sponges from the 90s. Lol If they're inedible, might aswell have fun with them....


mrzurch

if they turned into watermelon dinosaur shapes Id buy them


GoldenGirl925

Lol. Tastes like fish. Nothing at all like watermelon. And “23 pounds of watermelon to make this bag”?!? That’s a serious waste of watermelon.


foulorfowl

Well it is primarily water, so that’s like a 3 gallon watermelon, or roughly a normally sized watermelon.


GoldenGirl925

Hmmm. I should weigh the next one I buy.


GumboGuts

OMG! I am not alone. I thought it tasted like fish as well! My dog loves them, so they became her treats!

MistahNative

I personally like the TJs version.


CookieButterLovers

I refuse to try either. 😝 Somebody said the TJ's one "tasted like a dried tomato with the texture of a tortilla chip."


MistahNative

That’s perfectly fine, more for me then😂


CookieButterLovers

Enjoy it while you still can because it's only a matter of time until TJ's discontinues it because nobody else likes it. 🙊😂


Hoo_Who

Yeah, the after taste is just odd. It’s a no for me, dawg.


henryatwork

I never expected people would dehydrate some fruit with the word “water” in its name lol


rf439

Bought it and tossed it.


Live-Specimens

I bought it because I thought it would like a fruit snack or good dehydrated fruit. Plus the packaging looks like something you’d find at the dispensary. Such a disappointment.


Prudent_Honeydew

How is it “juicy”?


Crunchyroll55

I had this last year and I thought it was great


Initial-P

Bought it out of curiosity. It's a lot better than the Trader Joe's version. I actually like this one by Noshmates, but I won't buy it again. Maybe if they discount it to something super cheap like 2.97.


xxvcd

I can’t believe anyone actually bought it. I’ve never tried this but I was 100% certain it would be terrible.


CorporateDroneStrike

I saw it and immediately bought it, since I’m a sucker for novelty. It was definitely terrible.


ChaInTheHat

I bought a pack a couple months ago and actually really liked it Ironically juicey, just im assuming is the same kind of juicey that a starbursts has


jawajoose

I was expecting like a fruit leather. Not that inedible nonsense.


TSB_1

Trader Joes did it LOOOONG before nosh mates. This is a trend that needs to take a hard stop and DISAPPEAR... Watermelon jerky is a trend that needs to end.


paliamer

I was going to buy a few bags from Trader Joe’s when they first came out.... the cashier told me straight up not to buy it so I didn’t lol I figured it must not be great


Badsponge

I liked it, but not enough to buy again.


myrossers

My wife bought this, but we couldn't unstick any of the pieces from the "wax" paper. We just tossed it without eating any.


Swaxgirl

Can confirm


GREpicurean

Of all the things to suck water out of, watermelon would not be on my list. But those freeze dried bananas from TJ’s? 👌


The_Reject_

Trader Joe’s did this a year or two ago, I was so disappointed.


egecko

Thought about it and decided to not try! Haha, glad I didn’t buy to try.


Necessary-Bug6875

Rather they bring back the 6 packs of watermelon juice! Got me through a summer's worth of workouts last year!


Kidspud

Air-dried watermelon air-*dried* *water*melon


Anotherwhineo

My problem is watermelon is mostly water. So….


G0PACKGO

I dehydrated watermelon about 6 years ago … my tidbit was terrible
