Watermelon Chunks are rough pieces of a smashed Watermelon. Each chunk is filling and very good for thirst. They also sweeten salads, fruit salads, pancakes and muffins.
Chunks spoil very fast, within a couple of days. They are made by smashing a whole Watermelon with a hammer, which gives five chunks. The Chef is the best occupation for cooked and prepared. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.
Eating
A watermelon chunk lowers hunger by 12 and thirst by 25. It holds 271 calories, almost all from 68 grams of carbohydrates. That gives chunks plenty of energy as well as making them a good drink substitute.
Chunks leave mood alone and are safe to eat raw. A Watermelon Slice lowers hunger by 6 and thirst by 20 at 0.3 weight. A chunk weighs twice as much and lowers hunger twice as much, with a little more thirst relief.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking
Watermelon chunks go into Salad, Fruit Salad, Pancakes and Muffins, adding 12 hunger to each. That is twice what a slice adds to the same dishes.
The Smash Watermelon recipe makes them. It breaks one Watermelon into 5 chunks with a hammer or a sledgehammer, which is kept.
These dishes take Watermelon Chunks as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Storage
Watermelon chunks stay fresh for only 2 days and are fully rotten by day 3. A fridge slows both counts down. A melon is best smashed only when the chunks will be eaten soon.
Notes
- Smashing a melon with a hammer gives five chunks, fewer than slicing but each one bigger.
- A chunk adds twice as much to a fruit salad or pancakes as a slice does.
- Chunks rot within days, so smash a melon only when ready to eat it.
- Chunks are a good way to quench thirst when clean water is short.
