I love the idea of the watermelon to hold the bottled waters! I never thought! So clever! Also, the watermelon juice is delish and oh so healthy! We love it in our home!

Glad you picked up one new idea and have already been utilizing another - can't beat fresh watermelon juice - it's so sweet and gives you a great energy boost, too!
