How to pick a Watermelon

Everyday I see people banging on watermelons trying to pick the best one.
 Here's the real deal on picking the sweetest Watermelon: 

1.Big or small, the watermelon should feel heavy for its size. Pick the heaviest watermelon in the bunch. This means it’s super juicy.
2. Make sure it has a prominent yellow spot. This is where it sat on the ground ripening. No spot = premature pick = not ripe. 
3. Look for "webbing". This is the brown, course web looking materiel. This is caused when bees pollinate the flower and scar the membranes that later forms the fruit. The more pollination = more webbing = sweeter fruit. 
4. Look for black hard globs seeping out. This is sugar not insects or rotting.
5.Go for the dull watermelon.A shiny watermelon is an underripe watermelon. You want the dull one – that means it’s sweet and ripe.
