Farmers in China have reported a rash of ' exploding watermelons ' giving new meaning to the expression ' it's a minefield'.
It seem the melons had been sprayed with too much forchlorfenuron, a growth accelerating chemical! This was an attempt to boost profits by getting the melons to market early.
Seems you don't always want a bigger bang for your buck but let us hope under endowed men don't pick up on this chemical! Three cheers for mother nature.
