Did you know we have been eating Watermelon for over 50 centuries? OMW (Oh My Watermelon).

Watermelon's history dates back 5000 years to southern Africa where the tough, drought-tolerant ancestor of watermelon thrived. Although we don't know the exact identity of this plant, we do know it was prized for its ability to store water and was used by indigenous people in the Kalahari Desert region.

It is arguably one of the most refreshing summer & autumn fruits out there and really is a 2 in 1, drink and a food at the same time (kinda like a Guinness). Whether you like eating the whole thing (like a hippo) or a big slice where half the juice ends up on your t-shirt it is always a thirst quenching winner. 

At The Floodgate we always want to solve the problems that you did not know you had. In these energy crisis days your washing machine can cost a years salary per cycle. So instead of spending time (and money) washing that watermelon off your clothes, get on down to the best bar in Digbeth where you can consume your watermelon in the safety of a Floodgate cup and with the added bonus of some delcious AU Vodka.
