I'll be back
With your axe?
I read your post back with an Austrian accent.
How exactly do you pay for one?
pay $1 get 2
or use credit card
Is it free if you try and pay using coins?
Combine it with one of the honeydew melons which are 99c I guess?
edit: or maybe buy 5 for 5c, and then broden the other 4?
edit edit: actually they have a 1 per person limit to deter broden from building his melon cartel..
It should be free, there are no other terms so you should be able to buy just one and not pay a thing.
looks like they're encouraging the purchase of 2 to make it 100 cents.
That looks like Cantaloupe… funny that they called it rockmelon
Why is it funny, that's what they're called here?
Cantaloupe is American.
Yeah you are right, the Americans call it Cantaloupe and for once they are correct in doing so.
the name is derived via French cantaloup from Italian Cantalupo, which was formerly a papal county seat near Rome, after the fruit's introduction there from Armenia.[3]
Rockmelon is the incorrect name for the fruit, Australians are the ONLY ones who use the name and maybe they started doing it cause it was easier to spell who knows.
being related to a Cantaloupe grower (here in Aus) i can tell you at every step of the grow, harvest, sale, export process they are referred to as cantaloupe and even the government designation here is cantaloupe its usually only the retailers/fruit shops who incorrectly advertise them as rockmelon.
Traditionally, from my own experience:
Cantaloupe used by Victorians
Rockmelon used inNSW/QLD
Unsure about the rest of the country.Remember it's a Potato "Cake" with that seafood scallop.
Can you explain why calling it a rockmelon is wrong? According to wikipedia, rockmelon is another name for cantaloupe and that they are all part of the muskmelon family.
typically brainwashed American person who thinks that the US English is the only one in the world.
Let me guess, you don't know what a capsicum, spring onion, coriander etc is too then?
Language changes. There's no 'right.'
Vic Market always have cheap fruits on Sunday afternoon. Eg $0.50 Rock Melon (looks much better than the photo), $1/kg Banana and Grapes
That's 50 times the price!
They don't look very good from the photo.
