I recently came across a couple videos that just had me chuckling. Have you ever seen someone cut a watermelon in half by using SEVERAL rubber bands? It’s amazing that something so small and seemingly weak can totally crush a watermelon when grouped together. A good life lesson- but also just fun to watch! These first two videos are just short clips but man did they have me giggling. This is definitely an experiment to try with a lot of caution!



Now if you really want to see something cool, this video shows a couple different watermelons being crushed by rubber bands- but in slow motion! You can literally see how the watermelon just caves in, and it’s really quite fascinating!


Have you ever tried this experiment, or would you ever give it a shot? I think I’m much happier watching from the safety of my screen- or at least a little distance!
