WHEN IS IT RIPE? CANTALOUPE 

I know, right? I was left wondering.... “okay, so what does a melon smell like?” I mean is it supposed to smell like the cantaloupe does inside or something else?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

“Melon”. You need spelling, grammar and punctuation lessons.

me too

Nice

the produce guy got busted stealing cantaloupes from markets.

Shellie Whalen that was 8 years ago dumb ass

The "smell test" always works for me.

How many people are you feeding? Boxes of bananas come in 40 lb increments. In any regard, I will tell you where I like to go to find great produce. Harmons has beautiful produce (Ogden, Roy, Farmington Station) but it is on the pricey side, so that's a treat. My go-to place these days is Rancho Market. They don't sell bulk, but they have some great sales on different items most every week. Other than that, you can find organic stuff, if that's what you want at Smith's and Good Earth on Riverdale Rd. Does any of that help? Thanks for watching.

I don't think Aldi exists in your area yet, but we are expanding to be coat-to-coast in the US by 2016 I believe. (I work for Aldi). If you ever get the opportunity to shopthere, you will be amazed at the produce prices. And it's the same stuff the other grocers have. Same farms, same brands. Just ridiculously low prices. Good luck with your healthier lifestyle!

Those are cantaloupes in the video.

@Paul Robbins You have a nose and hands I presume. The smell is important.

Hello Austen, When I was working in the stores, we had never heard of the refrigerated table. Our wet rack was the only place we had refrigerated. When we would set out the melons, of course they would come to room temperature. When smelling melons for that 'sweet' smell, they have to be at room temp. Refrigeration kills that smell. So, in the modern department, you likely have your melons displayed on a cold table, thus the smell will not develop until those fruits warm up at home for the customer...assuming they don't pop them into the fridge right away. As for the modernization of the fruits (genetic selection, etc.) that could have an effect as well. The old heirloom varieties produce a wonderful aroma, while the hybrids, while impressive looking do tend to produce less of that sweet smell. Thanks for commenting!

Thanks for the reply! Though my company doesn't merchandise them on a refrigerated table, the modernization of the fruit makes a lot of sense to me..I appreciate your insight...
