They should be "heavy" for their size and the spot on the bottom should
be pretty dark yellow. Heft a couple of similar size if you can in the store,
a lot of times the weight will vary by quite a bit, the heaviest is the one
with the most juice.
Happy eating!!

I always hold the melon in two hands & push the ends & if it's soft ( not too soft ) a little springy, then that's the time for me to eat it x.
