If there is watermelon, why isn't there firemelon and airmelon and earthmelon. You know…the elemelons.
@Meshelly There were, but then the firemelons attacked.

@Meshelly Water... Earth... Fire... Air. Long ago, the four melons lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the fire melons attacked...
Long ago, the four melons lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Melon attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four melons, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an melon-bender named Aang. And I believe Aang can save the world.

@Meshelly perhaps potatoes are earthmelons.
@Meshelly everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
@Meshelly A possible new set of GMOs...
@Meshelly I think those are the evolutions. Maybe coming in the next update.
@Meshelly In Chinese, there is earthmelon (土瓜) but it’s what we call cucumber.
What they call watermelon (水瓜）we call loofa.
For extra element credit, there’s wood melon (木瓜), a kind of quince.
What we call watermelon they call western melon (西瓜).
This is the best thing I've read all day. Thank you. @wrenpile
@Meshelly I'm holding out for spiritmelons, or maybe lovemelons
@Meshelly I feel worldbuilding coming on!
