Back in the day people used to take whole watermelons injected with booze into the cricket. So what you do is bite a little hole in the top and suck the juice from it. Then you start chewing through it. By the end of the day you're wearing the rind as a helmet, giving a little wave π€ to the camera and off ya chops.
There's a little culture for ya.
My sister did a version of this whilst camping in a caravan with friends at Wilson's Prom like 25 years ago. Multiple watermelons, bottles of vodka. She told me they woke up the next morning and the inside of the caravan was covered in watermelon.

Pre used watermelon presumablyβ¦
And you wind up smelling like watermelon which is preferable to beer, sweat and sunscreen.
I've seen it done with a bag of oranges still in the netting. Take the stickers off, inject the oranges, put them back on the ones you've injected.
This Terry's shot do you reckon it would work if I chocolated the rim of a shot glass then filled it with Cointreau?.
