Dude pours molten salt into a watermelon and the results are awesome

There's only one thing better than watermelon on a hot summer's day and that's an exploding watermelon.

YouTube channel The King of Random decided to answer a question that no one really had: What happens when you pour molten salt inside of a watermelon?

If you guessed the watermelon would immediately explode, you'd be correct.

It's not just the watermelon that gets the molten salt treatment. A cantaloupe and a regular carton of fruit juice also get tested. The cantaloupe is heartier than its melon-mate and, well, nothing really happens. The container of juice, however, gets a delightful geyser thing going on.

Just don't try this at home.
