Watermelon isn't just one of our summertime favorites, it's also a jack of all trades: you can use it in salads, pickle the rinds, make it into bread, or, if you feel so inclined, you can blow it up with rubber bands. Like these guys.
Instead of blowing up a watermelon the normal way (with dynamite, obviously) these two brothers from Russia—who run a YouTube channel full of other crazy stunts, including this insane potato peeling hack—decided to see just how many rubber bands they would need to wrap around a watermelon before it finally burst. The answer: A lot. When the melon finally goes kaboom, be sure your volume is turned way down. Don't say we didn't warn you.
While this stunt isn't as risky as this real life fruit ninja's sad watermelon slicing attempt, we can't help but wish these two bumbling dudes would put on helmets, or at least a poncho.
