Labor Day Weekend Picnic Party Trick: How To ‘Skin’ A Watermelon

Labor Day Weekend might signal the end of another hot summer here in southeast Minnesota, but don't let the summer season leave without trying this cool picnic party trick!

Yes, summer may be on its way out, but let's not let it leave without a bang, shall we? And what says summer more than watermelon? Not much! But have you ever heard of 'skinning' a watermelon? I confess, I hadn't either -- until I saw this video, that is.

Check out how this guy goes about 'skinning' a watermelon. (Note that you'll actually need TWO watermelons, that are roughly the same shape and size.) And check out the earlier trick he mentions, too-- which looks like almost more fun than the watermelon 'skinning' trick.

Either way, try either of these tricks and you'll no doubt be the hit of your last picnic of the summer. And, of course, you can say that you heard it -- or, more accurately, saw it -- here first.

Happy Labor Day Weekend!
