Kirkagac Melons are a Turkish variety. The shape of the fruit can be oval, round or long. The average weight of the melon is 2-4 kg. The melon bark is thick, wrinkled and yellow in color with green spots. The pulp is tender, juicy and sweet, white in color and tastes like a watermelon. The Kirkagac Melons are less aromatic compared to other varieties.
It doesn't hold back when faced with autority, and is unpredictable in its actions
It’s just a melon, it can’t face authority, or perform actions. Just hope it’s tasty.

I'm just operating at a grander level. For example, did you search the board for "autority"?

The origins of the meme and several of its uses appear to have been purged. RIP

Did find out something interesting. Honeydew in Norway/Europe is the Golden Honeydew or Canary Melon, which are white/light on the inside. In the US it is normal with Honeydews that are white on the outside, and are a bit green on the inside. Have never tasted one of those.

Canary melons are plentiful in the US, but I've never seen them marketed as honeydew.
It’s called Honningmelon (Honey Melon) here, and translated everywhere as Honeydew.

This is ridiculous. Once you’ve had one melon, you’ve had them all.

After one hour in the fridge it tasted very fresh, but not nearly as sweet as I expect from a melon.

See Turkish people often use it in meals. Will see tomorrow how the 18 hour fridge version does. Might have to use it in a smoothie, think it could be perfect for that.
