Do Watermelons Taste Different?

I don't know if it is related to seeds/seedless, but my memory is that melons and produce had richer taste in years past.  Perhaps it is conjecture, but I believe the fruits in past were often organically cultivated (long before the term became popular) and allowed time to properly ripen before harvest, and that perhaps our memories of youth (remembering the good times) has something also to do with our recollections. 

We have grown both types of watermelons in our garden. I would say that the ones with seeds do taste better to me. When picking out a watermelon you want to thump on it to see if it's ripe. A flat sound and it isn't ripe. A little bit of a hollow sound and it's ripe. Peace

Yes, and not just water melon tastes different, lots vegetable and fruits are tasting different. The tastes all seem te be less intensive as old days, I guess. Techonolgy do make apples sweeter, but ruin the taste...

Different types of Watermelons taste different, you will discover that the one you consider to have a good taste, somebody probably would think that is the worst simply because taste is subjective. However traditionally the old watermelon packed with seeds is known for its good taste. Good luck.

I think you may be right.  We have tended to buy only seedless for several years.. And then recently I got one with seeds... MUCH sweeter.
 
Aren't seedless watermelons really just immature melons which happen to turn red inside while still immature?  After all, they must develop seeds sometime, or how would they reproduce?

I prefer the seedless for obvious reasons, but the taste is the same to me with/without seeds.  I like a slightly sour taste to the melon.  When they are too sweet, sometimes they are mushy.  And I like salt on mine.

Darling, what type of watermelon do you think that I would like? Hypothetically, do you think that I would like, sweet or sour? Oh, never mind, I would LOVE the watermelon full of seeds.! SWEEEEEET!!!!! WITH ENOUGH FLAVOR TO LAST UNTIL NEXT YEAR, FISHING SEASON! Hahaha. ♥♥♥ you dear.

I'm not so sure about that.
When I was a kid that's all we had were seeded and I always loved watermelon but couldn't stand the seeds.
Half the time I'd be spitting out half the watermelon with the seeds so it wasn't as enjoyable.
I was jumping for joy when I discovered seedless.
If the watermelon is a good one, the sweetness to me is the same not to mention, I can eat it until I turn green without having to waste almost the whole thing.

All watermelon taste the same to me...

There is definitely a difference in taste, My kids always beg me to buy seedless. After many weak tasting seedless ones, I finally bought one of each and made them do a blind taste test and the results were unanimous.we haven't bought a seedless one since.

Yah, it's the same with all fresh produce. It depends on the size, ripeness, brand - of course. Also organic can taste different. If use soap on it- duh. Anyways no two fruit taste exactly alike- in my opinion :)
