Okay, more about watermelon:
Let's say you eat 5lbs. of watermelon. I'm assuming that's a lot; correct me if I'm wrong.
This means you've consumed approx. 150g of sugar and 2 litres of water. As a comparison, 150g of sugar is about equal to 5.5 cans of Coke, except with the Coke, you'll only be consuming 1.2 litres of water.
I'm guessing that it's better to eat 5lbs. of watermelon than to drink 5.5 cans of Coke. I'm also guessing that 5lbs. of watermelon cannot be eaten all at once. But, if eaten throughout the day, I think it would be alright, though 2 litres seems a lot if you are drinking other things, typically.
Are you drinking other things?
Another thing about watermelon: it has some B vitamins and minerals that help with energy production (i.e. to make use of the sugar). I don't think Coke has that. The red can looks nice, though.
