Watermelon — the juicy red fruit that fights off tropical heat in Venezuela. In Venezuela patilla is the mandatory summer fruit: cold, sweet, and in every market at an accessible price.
"Buy a nice cold watermelon for the afternoon."
"Watermelon with salt is the perfect heat combo in Venezuela."

"Buy a cold watermelon for the heat."
"We ate a whole watermelon at the park."
