If "seedless" watermelons will contain a "seed or two", why are they not called "95% fewer seeds" watermelons?
-
I say down with false advertising!

Answer:
"Seedless" is a general term for the variety, not for every specific fruit created. A seedless watermelon is the result of a genetic trick. When the plant gets ready to begin separating the chromosomes at meiosis, a chemical is added that stops the different cells from forming. All the chromosomes stay together creating a fruit that cannot reproduce itself. Unfortunately since we cannot control every last portion of the plants tissues, a few seeds may get produced. These are unlikely to be viable.

Seedless watermelons are not seedless. The seeds are smaller and white in colour, and easy to swallow.

Because they have been colonized by the government. Furthermore, I find this question seedy. Try some fish balls instead...

Well, fat-free doesn't mean there is no fat at all. It is advertising.

I have to agree. That's why I still raise the old varieties and not hybrids even though they don't bring in as much money. Did you also know that the "baby" carrots that you buy in the store are not baby carrots. they are large culled carrots that are milled down on a lathe. Pretty sneaky huh.

Because if they did that, you wouldn't be able to take it back to the grocer and get your $$$ back and I wouldn't have any $ to put on the front of my cap!... ...$Billy Ray$

Because 95% fewer seeds isn't as good of a selling point. They know what people want to hear and that's what they give them, so far it works with almost anything and anyone.

You know, if they said that watermelons are 95% seedless, you, Contess, would care enough count them and say that they're not 95%, but 92% seedless.
