Thank you! I’m not the only weirdo slapping watermelons in the store!
Everyone’s always like “You want a watermelon that’s got a very light…”
No… There should be a slight resonance in your fingers, like you’re patting a very overfilled water balloon. If you’re not sure, lay your fingers flat and drum them on it. Hasn’t failed me ever.
I used to tap them until I learned that watermelons that were ripe when picked are yellow on their underside. Ones that were picked prematurely are green all over.

I was working at a mango farm and learned how ripe mangos look like and tastes like and I learned have never found a single ripe mango in a store.
