Add a man with a sword and a watermelon, and you get viral gold.
In a recently uploaded YouTube video, a man identified as Ali tried to tap into his inner ninja. He attempted to slice a watermelon with a large, curved sword.
The fruit was on a cutting board on a glass outdoor table. Those recording his stunt can be heard in the background, concerned over what the outcome of his bold move would be. About 30 seconds into the clip, Ali gives himself a countdown and swings the sword.
Almost instantly, the glass top of the patio table shattered to the floor. "I guess we need a new table," said a voice in the background. You've got that right.
Even though the homeowners need to invest in new outdoor furniture, the good news is no one got hurt during the potentially unsafe food trick. As for that watermelon, it landed on the floor and remained completely intact.
While Ali (and the table) would have been much better off using this slicing technique, we can't blame him for being a fan of the fruit. Have you seen these watermelon recipes?
Still, we can't help but add a warning: Don't try this at home.
