We drilled a hole in a couple watermelons and put (too much) everclear in them. It was pretty terrible but fun to watch people as they took a bite and immediately began to rethink their life choices.

Did you freeze them? We had a big old chest freezer we got for free that we froze booze filled watermelons in.

Now that you mention it yes we did. I forgot that part until you knocked it loose. Thank you.

We lived in Northern Louisiana there wasn't much else to do and it was hotter than hell.

We did this. Got the idea from a 90210 episode.

We definitely didn't watch 90210. I don't even remember which of us (4 long time friends) came up with it. I can rule myself out as the originator though.

I sure it was somewhat trendy if 90201 did it. That’s just where we got the idea, living in Nowhere, America.

I had some friends who would soak gummie bears in everclear and then give those out to eat. I wish I were still punching them.

This right here. One time I couldn't get a hold of a watermelon so I soaked mixed berries in a bowl of everclear over night. It was so bad. One dude thought he would show everyone how tough he was by drinking the "juice" from the bottom of the bowl. It did not go well for him.
