## What Happened When Our Costco Watermelon Started Foaming on the Kitchen Counter?
Watermelon is the quintessential summer fruit — juicy, sweet, and refreshing. So, when we brought home a big, beautiful watermelon from Costco, we were excited to dig in. But something unusual happened shortly after we set it on the kitchen counter: the watermelon started **foaming**!
If you’ve never seen this before, it can definitely be alarming. Here’s what happened and what you should know if it ever happens to you.

### Why Did Our Watermelon Foam?
Watermelon foaming is rare but not unheard of. It’s typically caused by **fermentation**, which happens when the sugars in the watermelon start to break down naturally, producing carbon dioxide. This gas can create foam or bubbles that ooze from cracks or the stem end.
Fermentation usually occurs when the watermelon is overripe, damaged, or stored at room temperature for too long. Warm temperatures speed up this process.

### Is It Safe?
Generally, a foaming watermelon means it’s starting to ferment and might be overripe or even spoiled. It’s not advisable to eat watermelon that’s foaming or has an off smell or taste. Eating fermented fruit can sometimes cause stomach upset.
