Coconut watermelon slices memories... Growing up in Chicago,
there was a little candy store located around the corner from our
house, it was called Mr. Armor's. Every day after school, a group of
us kids would go there and my daily treat was the Coconut Watermelon
Slices. My friends thought I was crazy for not getting the chocolate
ice cube candies or the Sky Blue popsicles - they were good, but
couldn't compare to my watermelon slices. I would carefully eat the
red part of the slice, trying NOT to eat the rind - cause you didn't
eat watermelon rind. But of course, when the red was gone, I ate the
green rind!!!! ~ Sue from Illinois
