    I read recently that the stereotype originated with freed black land owners who grew watermelon crops because the seeds were cheap and readily available. Not necessarily anything to do with black people loving them. It would be like saying all Irish people love potatoes. Kind of silly.

    That's what she said.

    I'm sorry. Really. I just had to. On the real though, watermelon milkshakes are amazing. Try making one sometime. Fantastic.

    Boston with a 7 point first quarter. If points were potatoes, these Celts sure wouldn't fit the stereotype.

    Whether or not they do anything sensible with the data, they want to identify their demographics for targeted advertising.
