Watermelon cutting tradition

[appfanjj]

Someone asked me about a watermelon cutting tradition at App that was supposedly a thing back in the 60s. Told him I would ask here. I've never heard of it. Anyone know about something like this? My curiosity is up now. Thanks!

Wayyyy before my time...but I assume some sort of drug reference? Surely it wasn't literally related to actual watermelons, right?

Before my time too. Have no details. Anybody else?

Agreed.sounds like code term used on Sanford Mall for product consumption..

Only thing I/we ever did with watermelons at App was to cut a hole in them and pour in everclear and let soak. It wasn't a cutting tradition by any means but it certainly could get a lot of people messed up. Good times.

We called that “plugging.”

Well that makes a lot more sense. That's not near as creepy as what I thought you meant when I asked about your weekend plans and you said you were going to plug a watermelon.

There used to be a true watermelon fest during summer school back in the '60's.

Just free cold watermelon. That's been nearly 60 years. My memory is sketchy going that far back.
