considering fresh water melon is in season and about $1 kg, why this stuff …… one juiced, most juices oxides , when you can have fresh cheaper and healthier …..
and water melon doesn’t require much chewing or leave stuff stuck between your teeth.
Yep. Just grab that Nutribullet deal and start blending.
I bought some of this the other day. It is so much worse than blended water melon. It has a nutty taste to it.
That's because it is shit, Austin.
Oh good then it's not just me.
I was about to ask how it compared to blended watermelon? I find that blended watermelon tastes crap, and it's nothing like a juicy cold watermelon off the rind.which stays sweet.
blended watermelon tastes crap?…
how does it not taste like the original whole watermelon that you blended in the first place?
do u hate the taste of watermelon. and you thought that blending one would completely change it?blending aerates it , adds oxygen .
just eat the stuff fresh …. requires very little chewing …….
Disagree I thought it tasted like watermelon
You gotta take a cold watermelon and blend it to almost liquid with a nice hand blender. Go taste it and then come back to comment here if it was like this product.
It's 100% watermelon, from what it says on the box…….
It's "100% Natural -space- Watermelon". and it's H2 MELON Water
Yeah, I hate this too.
Not sure if it taste any good…
The best watermelon juice is to make your own: http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/fresh-watermelon-juice/0a93d…
Name checks out :D
Did you make this account just to comment on this page?
Mate.. this is his/her page. You probably missed to notice the OP of this deal.
What are the benefits of drinking this aoart from getting a sugar high?
You get hydrated due to watermelon having a high water content.
Still a bad product though.
Wow negged for asking a question. OzB is going downhill.
You offended chinese watermelon companies probably.
I actually wrote a 3k word report on this for my degree. There are performance benefits, from reduced rate of muscle failure to faster recovery. There's heaps of studies available that you can look up if that interest you!

Wtf
@Putnum: I didn't write the report on the product, but on the topic: "Watermelon: is it the wonder fruit for sport?".
The references are there as a follow up of the …"There's heaps of studies available that you can look up if that interest you". I.e. do your own research but here's a head start.
:)
@kiLbiL:
This is what I wrote for the conclusion of the report, please note:
-My tutor later informed me that Watermelon has not had enough scientific evidence to support it being a grade A supplement, it closer to grade B but between B+C ("Deserving of further research and could be considered for provision to athletes under a research protocol or case-managed monitoring situation." (AIS 2017))
-This is not advice"According to the Australian Institute of Sport (2017), to be classified as a “Group A” supplement a product must be supported for specific use in sport, using “evidence based protocols”. It must also fit into a sub-category. As watermelon has been shown through multiple evidence based protocols to directly contribute to optimal performance, it would be most fitting to be assigned to the “Performance supplements” sub category. Given this, watermelon (or watermelon juice) would be most suited to the “Group A” supplement classification.
Watermelon is an accessible, relatively affordable fruit that would assist in meeting the minimum nutritional requirements specified by the Australian Government (2015). Thus to consume the recommended two serves of fruit per day (standard serve size approx 150g), it would be suitable to consume watermelon as a part of a healthy diet (provided consumer has no allergies/negative reactions to consuming watermelon).
For the purposes of reducing fluid loss to maintain performance and reduce cardiac stress, athletes could suitably consume 550g/mL of watermelon/watermelon juice 1 to 2 hours before an exercise session. Athletes who participate in sessions longer than 1 hour should consume 1200mL of water with 60g/hour of carbohydrates post workout, ideally consuming both fructose and glucose to maximise carbohydrate and glycogen uptake. An example of this could be 600mL water, 650g watermelon juice and 25g of a glycogen source (e.g. 34g of gummy bears).
8g of citrulline has been shown to decrease muscle soreness by 40% and increase repetitions performed (pectoral contractions) and 6g of citrulline has been shown to increase growth hormone and concentrations of amino acids associated with muscle relaxation, resistance to fatigue, accelerated removal of lactic acid and improved performance due to Nitric Oxide synthesis. As, 500mL of natural watermelon juice contains 1.17g of L-citrulline it is not practical to suggest an athlete should consume approx 3.5L (equal to 8g citrulline) of watermelon juice to obtain the same level of citrulline. Instead an enriched citrulline watermelon juice or citrulline supplement could assist in reaching this level. However, 14.63% of participants noted discomfort in their stomach, so caution is advised in consuming this level of citrulline."As I said, my findings were quite interesting and I learned a lot about the benefits of Watermelon/l-citrulline during this report. If you are also interested, I implore you do conduct your own research.
If it is ONLY watermelon juice then it has fructose which is a good sugar that all fruits have.
But most people just see sugar and freak out. Also fructose is a different type of sugar than most are accustomed to. Iirc it is good for long term energy storage for winter times which may or may not be good for those on a diet, but if you can tell more than please do so.
Fructose is the worst type of sugar for you, it causes the production of visceral fat, increases chance of heart disease, can cause non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and insulin resistance.
The reason eating fruit is not as bad is because absorption within the liver is slowed down by the fibre content. When you down a glass of watermelon juice your greatly increasing the rate of absorption. There is no such thing as good sugar.
By that logic consumption of too much of fruits is bad. I wonder what’s good then if fruits were bad.
@virhlpool: Don't worry there will be a new study within 12 hours stating the bad foods are good and good foods are bad, then another 12 hours it'll be the other way around.
No. As I've said it's when you drink a fruit as opposed to chewing and digesting it. You increase the amount processed by the liver at a given time, thus increasing the negative impact of fructose on the body.
Further, it's a lot easier to drink your fruit than eat it so after two glasses you've consumed 1/2 a kilo of watermelon in one sitting. This would therefore increase the amount of fructose you are consuming. Same applies for orange juice, hell of a lot easier to drink 6 oranges at once than eat them.
@virhlpool:
By that logic consumption of too much of fruits is bad. I wonder what’s good then if fruits were badmy (limited) understanding:
fructose is metabolised almost exclusively in the liver where it is converted to fat and stored in the liver for later use. when you eat fruit you get a smaller time-released dose from fruit as it is digested due to the fibre which is usually accompanies fruit. this is easier for your liver to process and utilise. with a drink you get a huge dose all at once. do that all the time and you will end up with a fatty liver. fat in the liver -> inflammation of the liver -> screwed up metabolism -> metabolic syndrome
but yes, if you gorged on fruit i suspect there is no difference. but fruit intake is usually self-limiting (you feel full).
iirc alcohol metabolism is almost identical to fructose metabolism
@virhlpool: That is correct… in-fact the logic applies to anything.. too much Consumption of anything is bad (oxygen excluded?)
So yea, there is such a thing as "too much fruit".
Cheers!
the reason eating fruit isn’t bad is because you need to chew it ( requires effort and time) so there is a limited amount you can eat ….. where as juice it’s easy to drink so people drink more …….
hard to eat 6 apples in an hour, easy to drink the juice from 6 apples in a few minutes.
"Good sugar" is an oxymoron promoted by big pharma. Enjoy your good diabetes and good death.
It doesn't taste like watermelon juice. Has this weird artificial flavour to it
The watermelon is probably 6 months old.
and has been aerated while processing so antioxidants are all used up .
besides bananas , water melons are one of the easiest fruits to chew and eat, even people with dentures manage it.
The wm is probably reconstituted in China
like the those cadbry M&M chocolates blocks
Why not buy a fresh watermelon? Saw them at the market for 69c a kilo.
I'll buy @ that price. My local Woolies is $1.20 / kg
It's actually 60c a kilo at my local woolies today! You must be from Sydney :)
for the same reason any processed food in the world exists. convenience.
Not to mention if you buy a whole watermelon you are losing half your money on useless rind.
It is better than buying water, I guess.
some people are too lazy to chew water melon ….
was told by a friend this is the best drink on earth so bought one and tasted like shit went bought a watermelon thru it in my ozb purchased nutribullet and wow what a difference my opinion your choice
You definitely got trolled by your mate
Add water and apple juice to a rockmelon and blend. You have watermelon juice
If you have a watermelon and remove the rockmelon from it, are you left with apples?
No, you have rock water or just a melon, according to ireadtermsofuse's logic
This stuff is terrible. My boyfriend and I couldn’t bring ourself to finish even one of the tiny cartons (it comes in lunch box sized ones too)
Agree, this product is rancid. Love watermelon; however this was vomit inducing.
Yeah what’s up with that? I looked at the ingredients and all it was was 100% watermelon
Yeah I was surprised too, but I realised it sort of tasted like really overripe watermelon, maybe because it’s not fresh.. I dunno.
yep, tastes pretty bad. cutting it down with sparkling water it quite good though.
Perfect for valentines day
Agree. Once the partner drinks that, s/he would want to vomit so much that s/he would not wants to have the Valentines day dinner. Spend $3.5 to save a couple of hundreds. Absolutely a Bargain!
I already took care of that issue when I had to get my wisdom teeth out xD good ol mashed potato was my Valentine’s Day dinner..
You know you can just say they right, it flows a lot nicer than saying s/he.
@Lunawinter: Oh gosh! I'm sure your valentine can have something a bit more solid since it's you that had the wisdom tooth taken out?
He had takeaway from his favourite Chinese place, I did tell him i'd take him out to a nice dinner once I'm healed though! wasn't exactly the valentines we imagined haha. I had all four out in one go so I wasn't in a position to go anywhere :(
Tastes better with vodka.
Taste better with vodka
Seeing these comments which I am absolutely in favour of, I fail to understand how most of the people still drink packaged orange juice of Tropicana and all other brands? It doesn’t taste like even anywhere close to the real oranges no matter what different brands write on it to market it. That shit still sells well. I hate it when even good airlines and reputed high-star hotels and restaurants give you shit from those bottles/Tetra Paks when you ask for orange juice assuming that at least there you would get real juice.
Tropicana is an American brand of juice not even available in Australia
I meant similar brands that we all buy from grocery stores here. There’s no difference whatsoever as none tastes like real orange anyway.
For me, although they don’t always taste like the real thing.. they still taste good.
This watermelon drink tastes like watermelon that has started to go off.
I hate eating real oranges because the fibres get stuck between my teeth and they just have a wide range of taste. Most of them taste awful with the exception of some that are nice and sweet, but not worth the trouble of getting stuff stuck between my teeth. Maybe I've just bad at choosing oranges and maybe its the fact that my parents used to force me to have oranges with them when I didnt feel like it.
OJ on the other hand, you know what it's going to taste like if you have bought similar brands before. But that's just me. I don't mind putting a real orange though the nutribullet though along with other fruits and vegetables.
Classic post!
The stars aligned watermelonjiuce! I cannot stop laughing 💗watermelon is $1 /kg at woolworths this week
yep just got some
90c at Eastgardens - $1.20 at Bondi - suburb profiling!
Housing price as well ? 900k in Eastgarden and 1.2M in Bondi …
House in Bondi for 1.2??? Where???
Bondi…..Junction…beside housing is not only “House”
it must be better than 'Chocolate Coconut water'. I bought that by mistake before when I needed the real 'Coconut Water' and it tasted horrible! anything must be better than 'Chocolate Coconut Water!'
anyways $3.50 for a litre of that is still a bit pricey?? Give me some good ol' Orange Juice LOL
Orange juice from the super market or freshly squeezed orange juice?
72 votes, almost 50 -ve comments. Hmmm
It just taste like shit.
Were the negative votes removed?
Nope
Taste like the proverbial
A real ozbargan user would just grow their own watermelon and get free juice . It tastes much sweeter
Nothing is free. You still need to pay for the seeds, and the soil and all the water that it will need in order to grow
Not that watermelon is already 95% water with some sugar, I have no idea why they sell this rubbish except to market on lazy people cutting up a watermelon
Had a holiday in Vietnam and every morning at the buffet breakfast they would make fresh watermelon juice. Tasted amazing. I'd never buy it from a carton though.
This product exists because it’s a pretty good mixer for booze. That’s really it. It’s gross without vodka but with it, not so bad. Who’s blending up a watermelon at pre drinks? Nobody that’s coming back to my house anyway. Imagine a drunk person and a blender.
I wanted to like this, but it's one of the worse beverages I've tasted in a long time. Horrible.
- worst (like your spelling)
Worst (like a grammar Nazi or Google autocorrect)

I love that stuff
