The melon connection
When I was in my teens, I knew a girl in my neighborhood nicknamed Melons. She used to wear tight clothes in the spring and summer and seeing her walk was always a special sight. Sadly for me, Melons and I never had a really fruitful relationship. She liked another guy better. I don’t know what happened to Melons, but I sometimes think of her when I’m at the produce department of my supermarket.
Melons, an old French word, is the kind of word that rolls off the tongue. Melons was a Greek slang word for a girl’s breasts. Korean slang for huge tits is soobak or “watermelon chest.” The connection between boobs and melons is actually more complex than a nickname. In 1999, the Tesco supermarket chain in the UK asked its suppliers to grow smaller melons after a female focus group revealed that people subconsciously bought melons based on social trends in boob sizes. Smaller breasts were popular at the time. An all-male group yielded the same results. Melon sales soared. Seven of 10 females said breast size was a “subconscious factor when picking the size of melons.” Five of 10 said it was a conscious thought when buying melons.
My question is: What kind of melons do very big-boobed girls buy?
