What Does a $140 Melon Taste Like?

[@speechless05]

Literally one of the only reasons why I don't skip ads is so that Simon can buy all the expensive fruit he wants

[@eatyourkimchi]

You’re the best!

[@lalop123]

SAVE THEM SEEDS! Wash them, and rinse out any melon pieces. Let them dry 3 to 5 days. Plant them in soil. Wait a few weeks (should sprout in 2). Then BAM - new side hustle, pushing expensive ass melons

[@randamcgahee4323]

[@gochugaru1058]

Anonymous Anonymous stfu. How would they even know that Martina planted the seeds.

[@simpledaylife]

Martina: "This better be the best thing I've ever put in my mouth." Simon: "Second best thing." Lol.. gee Simon

[@andreapeterson4681]

I CAUGHT THAT TOOO AHAAHHAA

[@ACEsParkJunheeWreckedMeHard]

o.O I don't want to see dirty talk on YT!

[@diainJP]

Six years I've lived in Japan and this has been my fantasy. Thanks, Simon and Martina, for letting me live vicariously through you.

[@communistsinthegazebo4457]

I really hope you planted those seeds

[@ActuallyRegina]

kimberley evans they probably aren't fertile anyway

[@iamamandazee]

Regina you'd be surprised how many fruits have perfectly fertile seeds in them. I have planted many different plants using seeds from regular grocery store fruits.

[@Tombee2]

iamamandazee wait do apples work?seriously how do you pick your seeds?

i know there's a dirty joke in there somewhere but i'm going to refrain because I am a gentleman. 😇

[@kajka982]

From now on, whenever Martina will want to buy something expensive and Simon will be against it, she can just go "Do YOU REMEMBER the 140$ MELON??? DO YOU???" Simon, you just played yourself. :'3

[@Blaaahhhhhhhh-z3p]

Clara K yasssss

[@RIXRADvidz]

no need for the lengthy dissertation, all she needs to say is, ''MELON''. and no further discussion will occur. what a great verbal silencer weapon

[@AashiquiDevi]

Clara K or them $40 strawberries 😋😋

[@Think890]

I'm just waiting for the videos at different restaurants where Simon tries to scam some of Martina's food ....and she just straight mic drops " Melon" or just a death glare and " Remember that time you bought our food budget for a melon"

[@samikay9599]

And now the grapes lol He keeps doing this to himself.

[@eatyourkimchi]

Welcome back everyone! Here we're tasting a great melon for Melon season in Japan :D

[@dinkledan9040]

Was it ripe yet? Its in the tag 😱

[@elle0024]

Simon and Martina We missed you guys ;;

[@apefu]

Wow! I've always wanted to know this! :O

[@elenBk]

It's great to have you back! :)

[@water1810]

You should have waited for more few days to eat the melon and it could be more delicious. The tag said, "please eat 27th to 28th of June". But well, Japanese fruits are delicious anyway.

[@Lugosifly]

"I swear to god, Simon, if this is the white strawberries all over again..." Martina I could SEE IT IN YOUR EYES GIRL.

[@matteenaminpour4267]

when did she say that..?

[@Yaba325]

She said it wither her EYES lol

[@PeachMilky_]

I still struggle to bring myself to spend ‎¥800 on a melon here!!!! xD

[@zueinder89]

Around 1000yen onwards is actually a huge jump and noticable difference. The colour, taste and smoothness is on another level. However, this was discovered with copious choices in Hokkaido and buying at the budget megamarts.

[@sofeels_]

I love this seemingly innocent video about melons turned into a video with sexual innuendos every few minutes 😂

[@ezzatisaid]

What's new in a simonandmartina video?! Hahahaha

[@MetalOfHeaven777]

Martina's face at the beginning of this video made it all worth it

[@eatyourkimchi]

I REMEMBER YOU! It's been so long :D

[@MetalOfHeaven777]

Oh my gosh that's right THIS IS WHERE I KNOW YOU FROM!!! :D Missed you guise! Hope you enjoyed your visit home and am glad you're back in Japan!!!

[@mylittleangler]

The tag (on the expensive melon) says the best time to eat is on June 26 or 27. I am not sure when you film this, but you did not eat at the best ripen day. Yet, I am glad you enjoyed.

[@chiaraippoliti]

Considering the fact that it's 4 am on the 26th in Japan at the time of my comment, they definitely did not eat the melon on the posted date.

[@orangesoda258]

A Weeks oh shit

[@kaitykline]

THEY'VE GOTTA GET ANOTHER MELON

[@goddammitjanice7700]

Carve out the melon and wear it on your feet. Now they are the most expensive shoes you own.

[@TasselMouse]

[@oooshyguy]

Hahaha this is gold

FuturePants if you watched them since day one you should know that they don’t make as much as you think and they invest in a lot of other things besides themselves. The way you says things is that anyone who has 1mill subs are automatically rich and only spend on themselves.

[@randamcgahee4323]

Goddammit, Janice! 😂😂

[@chenggonglee4992]

SAVE THE SEEDS AND SAVE EM AND GROW THEM!!!

[@iamdisgusted]

Chenggong Lee i would put them in the ground so fast.

[@MettaWitari]

but from what I remember, you have to grow ONLY 1 melon per tree. They said all the nutrient will go into that melon resulting in a sweeter melon.

[@Tombee2]

Chenggong Lee I'm pretty sure they have a special technique to grow that melon too so...

[@GabriellaKapsaski]

Melons don't grow on trees but on the ground.

[@slaynprey]

If you plant the seeds you would get the mother or the father of that melon. Which only has half of the characteristics and will most likely be a sub-normal cantoulope that isn't worth growing. Pretty much everything besides GMO is gonna be hybridization and you won't get the fruit you want by planting the seeds.

[@CupcakeBonjour]

My favorite part of all your super expensive fruit videos is the beginning with Simon buying the fruit, and Martina reacting to the price 😂😂 Thank you, guys, for always making the best videos. I've been following ya'll since 2012. Love you guys!!

[@starryskym]

I just got to say I didn't know how much I missed you guys until I came back from school, I love you guys!!!😂😂

[@madokag]

Your comment about Ehime orange at 6:21 gives me tremendous joy. I grew up in an orange farming family in Ehime (now living in Canada). Did you guys made a video about orange picking? Fruits grown in Japan are expensive because it is a lot of work to grow them on steep hills. Since it's impossible to compete against cheap imports, farmers aim for high quality instead. You also are paying for craftsmanship and artistry. I grew up eating scarred oranges not good enough to sell, but amazingly tasty. Unfortunately, orange farming is disappearing from my village because farmers are getting too old...

Hi, I am a Premier Melon Specialist (PMS) , and that melon is called a 'Cucumis Melo' from the family of 'Cucurbitaceae' with a NCBI genome ID of over 10000 (precisely 10697), which particularly is a Muskmelon.The reason why a generous Muskmelon is more expensive is because it is simply more difficult to cultivate (Temperature wise especially in Japan), which means there are only a few experts, like myself, who are good at babysitting these sexy musks, thus I shall be payed more. I will now excuse myself.

HAHA HILARIOUS! ♥

[@HappyGnoux]

Wow! Even the regular one is so expensive^^ I've never had a melon that looks like that. I would love to taste it. in France we have a few different types, but The only one I ever tasted (and the most common one) is round and the inside is yellow/orange/peach/apricot colored. no green. And it taste very sweet (very very sweet) when it's rip and it's very juicy. Some people eat it with red porto inside and what we call "jambon cru" (raw ham...but it's I guess a bit like a beef jerky but in ham version. not sure, caus' I've never tasted beef jerky, but the colour's similar). I prefer it cut in half with a big spoon ! :D ^^ Thank you for this video! I still can't believe the price of this melon, though! They probably are growing with classical music, hot bath, massages, and people cuddle them and read them bed-time stories before bed. For this price I hope they also each have their own PlayStation with a Dolby surround sound system, too! ^^

[@proteored156]

「お召し上がりは 6月27日～28日」 this melon was tagged with the notice "the best time to eat for June 27-28". Bud you uploaded this video at 6/25...

$10 for a "cheap" melon? I don't think it would be this expensive in my country in the winter time. Also, here, melons are just amazing, they melt in your mouth and are packed with so much flavor.

shu wern koe the best advice anyone can give tbh

[@corinne4018]

"Melons are rich people food, I never ate this growing up!". Hilarious. Also I'm horrified that normal melons in Japan are $10, particularly since I live in Scotland where I walk down to the local supermarket and any whole melon (honeydew, watermelon, cantaloupe, or piel de sapro) are £2 at their highest price, quite easily £1 at the moment since it's summer!

[@IamBrookesoyeah]

Corinne P In the United States they cost $2-$3

[@corinne4018]

Fruit in Japan is just so expensive!

[@sushiluvrluvzme]

IamBrookesoyeah $5 max depending on which state and how many pounds

[@adsjac3]

Corinne P back in my hometown here in the Philippines melons only costs $1-$2. and they are sweet af! we also eat it when it's a little bit orange. mix it with milk, ice and sugar. yum!

[@corinne4018]

Ads Jacildo that sounds sweet, I may have to try that. The melons in the U.K. are usually super juicy when ripe and don't require adding anything! I think we are just lucky to have France and Spain nearby for imports.

[@WhiskCraft_]

Damn! Better save those seeds!

[@ASHERUISE]

Good point. I mean idk if they propagate them from vines or if they have a professional singer sing to them every night or if they massage them every day though.

[@artofdylan2356]

in gardening, the seeds aren't going to be identical or better than the parent also high chance it's going to be a different variety

[@SakuraiKunLikes]

Planting from seeds will always result a bit different to the parent fruit, so for consistency they either propagate it, use heirloom varieties or genetically modified the seeds they plant.

[@Blaaahhhhhhhh-z3p]

SakuraiKunLikes how do you grow something the same way as the seed or the fruit you got to begin with? serious question not joke. I'm trying or really I want to grow rambutan

[@DQABlack]

I don't know about rambutan specifically, you'd probably have to look more into propagation methods, but for other plants that I'm used to you have to take a full piece from the actual parent plant and plant it somewhere else. For example, taking a branch with really great produce from an apple tree and graft it, with mint cut off a nice shoot and put it in water and let the shoot grow, or with strawberries let their runners take hold instead of planting by seed. If you find some other method like those for propagating your rambutan rather than with seeds that'd be what you want to try. You might be able to get closer to what you want if you pollinate your plants by hand, but even then you are still more likely to get variants.

[@hannahmagz1]

I looked at the title and oh my goodness that melon better taste like Jesus is tickling your tastebuds... holy shit.

[@eatyourkimchi]

We've had a few people tell us that we should spend our next anniversary in Portugal. What's the weather like this time of year?

[@CathCaris]

Simon and Martina The weather is usually very nice! Around 30ºc but there's usually always a refreshing breeze along the littoral. In the interior whoever it can reach really high temperatures( where I am is around 45ºc usually but we are going through a summer storm so it's been better!). I would recommend that you visit either Porto or Lisbon (unless you want to go to the beach more than anything else; if that is the case Algarve is for you, Faro and Portimão are nice cities!) Or even one of the islands! I am sure you would love it here! Plus the food is great! (if you want to know anything else just ask!)Have a nice day :)

[@orion134]

$10 for the cheap mellon? even during the winter in canada they are nowhere near that much. you can buy them in the summer on sale for like $1.50. sure they don't blow your mind but they are still pretty good.

[@azugirl111]

Dirks 2.0 cantaloupe maybe but I've never had a good honeydew melon in America lol

[@Ane0803]

Natasha Burdette If you can, buy produce from road side markets. Not only is is cheaper, the money goes straight to that farmer, and it is so much better. They allow the produce to ripen on the vine, instead of picking it green and gassing it to speed the ripening. Some will let you taste the produce before buying it.

[@Ikwigsjoyful]

Natasha Burdette I'm sorry that you haven't had a good honeydew melon in America - I get them in mid to late summer at my local farmers' market for $2 - $3 and they are superb (especially chilled with a little lime juice squeezed over them)! Buy fresh, buy local? Good luck, at any rate, finding one! :)

[@danih3371]

Natasha Burdette I pick them up at randalls and whole foods. always tasty.

[@secretdiaryofafoodie]

They're cheap in Australia in season but I've never had an awesome one either. Both honeydew melons and rockmelons (cantaloupe) are used as cheap filler in fruit salad if you ever buy it out, and are nearly flavourless.

[@TheShadowChesireCat]

Just think of all the CoCo Curry you guys could have had for the price of that melon? I estimate like 5 Simon and Martina visits for the price of 1 melon. A bilge is actually a part of a boat that collects water. The water in there ends up really gross and mixed with other stuff like motor oil. Dish water is probably less gross than bilge water.

[@joobaggs6886]

avg price per dish at coco ichi is about 800 yen. they could've gone about 9 times!

[@TheShadowChesireCat]

That's average price, and if you've watched their other vids, you know they like to add things to their curry. Cutlets, eggs and mushrooms are an add on cost per item.

[@siddhatthagotama1937]

You ate it too much early! Its peak ripeness is June 27(2:25) ;(

[@sapphireotaku3399]

Siddhattha Gotama 2 days isn't really that big of a difference.

[@CaKeBDA]

Sapphire Otaku youd think.. but 2 days for things like bananas or avacados can mean not ripe or on the verge of rotting ripe

[@SakuraiKunLikes]

Ca Ke Very true, I bought some bananas yesterday and it taste a bit sour on that day, then today I ate another one and it taste sweet without the sour aftertaste.

[@jmiquelmb]

SakuraiKunLikes Yep. Bananas taste better once it seems like they're a bit past their prime but really aren't. Also, just like avocados, they take much longer to get bad if you put them in the fridge once they are perfect

[@murasakimomogreen]

[@maylingrace]

So happy you are back!!❤️❤️❤️

[@Hoigwai]

Oh that was so funny, thank you for the smile. I'm sad to say this month was really bleh for me, struggling with weight sucks most of the joy out of things. :(

[@eatyourkimchi]

I know how you feel. (Martina here) I put on 7 more pounds visiting Canada. Sigh. I'm struggling to keep off the weight, the more overweight I am the more stress I put on my knees/ankles etc. But now I can't exercise due to my EDS getting worse, so it feels like a really hopeless cycle. However, rather than falling further into a hopeless mindset I try to spend time looking up low calorie recipes that are yummy (because I just hate dumb boring salads) and I'm learning how to cook with things like coconut flour and filling vegetable recipes that taste good. For lunch today I made ground chicken rice paper wraps with tons of lettuce, sprouts, shredded carrots, and cilantro. It replaces bread and fills me up! I like drinking "lumpies" which are blended spinach, lemon, apple, ginger and some water. The extra fibre from the fruits/veggies fills me up between meals. DON'T GIVE UP!! Remember that I am struggling with you! If you find any great recipes, feel free to send me an email :)

[@Joy.Elizabeth]

Simon and Martina I don't know what you can eat or not but I'm gf and find that oats are so versatile! I use rice flour a lot but it's expensive so Ive found using oats you can put them in the blender for a min n make oat flour!! it has a great texture esp if you do half rice half oat. I can't have soy n my body doesn't seem to like coconut so it's hard but it seems you've found some great ideas!! 😀👍 lately w the heat I've been loving fruit smoothies!! though I dnt think I could use a $140 melon!! 😱 lol thanks for the great video n new ideas for my diet! good luck to you and Hoigwai in losing and keeping off the weight! I'm really trying hard myself but it's so hard w having w lot of chronic illnesses n pain n it's hard to even stand or walk. but your comment was encouraging so thank you!!

I am now trying my seemingly billionth variation, only one meal a day. Low carb (carbs really make me feel awful), I tried lots of small meals and no good. Much like your EDS this has been a fight for me since I was about 11. My average calories a day is for the last 5 months is 1346 per day and I still gain weight. I've had many many tests to to figure out why unless I absolutely starve I gain weight. Nothing, they say everything is normal and yet I gain. So I keep trying to kick my body over into burning fat rather than storing it. I will keep struggling along with you. Thank you very much for your support it means a lot to me and your videos mean the world to my mental state, smiling doesn't come that often but always with you two. 8)

高級メロンの食べ方が間違っています。期日まで待って熟成して冷やして食べるんです。 こうして食べればもっとデリシャスです。

[@leahbrat1291]

In England haha you can get a melon for less than £1 and it has flavour and it's sweet 😂

[@Calida]

yaaay it's expensive, but at the same time thank you, so I don't have to! haha~ welcome back guys! I really missed you all! ♡♡♡

[@hn5900]

Ahhh!! I missed you guys ! So excited for more videos

[@misskatya099]

Guys, I'm so happy that you're back but honestly, it is PAINFUL to see you spend 140$ on a MELON! 😫😫😫

[@MrsInAbox]

*side note* watching videos on auto play tonight to help pay for Melons and meds

[@melique9380]

if you go to a Hispanic supermarket in the u.s there a ton of those expensive melons for 2 dollars..and they are super sweet

[@Greeeenskies]

Meli Roqu So true. The expensive melon is like what I grew up eating.

[@weirdzfully]

Meli Roqu lol I know right?

[@hugh2391]

You don’t know what it taste like, these probably taste completely different considering the ways it was cultivated compared to the regular ones.

[@Littledreamer0324]

After a long day of studying, your videos give me a laugh and much to look forward to! Please create more fun, engaging and well-written content! :)

I planted squash from seeds I got out of a grocery store squash and it worked just fine. Mellon seeds are big like squash seeds so the seedling gets a big head start, making it easier to grow. Its also ideal for people who don't have huge garden space because the vines will creep around to gather sunlight, you could hang a plant pot for example.

[@Banez1991]

I would totally donate to you on Patreon if it meant you could spend the money freely on things like this for making videos.

[@Doogie.Foodie]

I want to see $200 grapes! Thank you for making us laugh 😆

[@jellomouse]

I love how much your love for each other shows even in the simplest tasks. ❤️

[@tamagoyakii]

oh man you should do a series on this. This video makes my mouth water.

[@catleesie1235]

I'm just thinking when you picked up the expensive melon it looked like an animal crossing perfect fruit 🍉 but 140 for a melon is ridiculous lol

[@azugirl111]

Catleesie perfect melon

[@infinitelyinspirit11]

Catleesie I love that game XD

[@savannahangelici3690]

I didn't realize skipping the ads affected you! I''ll watch the ads for you guys! Do you get to choose the ads on your videos?

[@lilwiz1213]

"It tastes like honey" .... maybe that's why they call it a honeydew melon

[@Viktrona]

lilwiz1213 but then why did the outside look like a cantalope....

[@drewsauveterre8867]

Viktrona Packaging error.

[@anonymousunnamed3026]

lilwiz1213 They never specified which kind of melon it was. And a honeydew melon is greenish white with a smooth exterior. Plus the description box calls it a "musk melon". I wonder, though, what a honeydew melon would taste like in Japan, bc it tastes like water where I live (Portland, Oregon)

[@OriginalMouseketeer]

Maybe it's a golden cantaloupe. Never knew they existed until a recent trip to Sams Club.

[@katvondutch4043]

lilwiz1213 Yeah 😂 I it is Honey Dew melon edit:Oh It's Golden Cantaloupe? I wanna try it 🤤

[@niratisaya]

Not skipping the ads and watching all your videos, while working on my writing. Thank you for being charming and bubbly companion, Simon and Martina~ 💕💕💕💕

[@onepotato19]

[@IvyS1120]
