In the UK, the Telegraph reports that scientists have discovered that watermelon juice can be distilled into alcohol that can be used to power automobiles and other machinery.
The story notes that this isn’t likely to raise the cost of edible watermelons, since every year there are more than 360,000 tons of substandard watermelons in the US that cannot be eaten, and therefore are ready-made to be a fuel source.

It wasn't that long ago that watermelon also was identified as a source of some of the same compounds that are in Viagra … which, combined with this new fuel source info, seems to make watermelon the ultimate superfood.
