Article: Mold or dark-colored spots on the outside of the watermelon could indicate that it has gone bad. The mold might be black, white, or green, and have a fuzzy appearance. The watermelon should have either a consistent pine green shade or a striped appearance. Striped watermelons have alternating lime-green and darker pine-colored stripes. These colors indicate the watermelon is healthy. If your watermelon is a different color (black, for instance), do not eat it. Different varieties of watermelon have different internal appearances. Desert King, Tendergold, Yellow Baby, and Yellow Doll watermelons have yellow or orange flesh. When watermelon is no longer good, the crisp flesh will start to shrivel. The flesh might even be pulling away from the seeds. In other cases, the watermelon might become slimy and mushy. A healthy, edible watermelon should smell sweet and fresh. If it smells tangy or sour, it's gone bad and should be thrown it away.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Check for mold on the outside. Look for a healthy color outside. Look for a deep pink or red inside. Beware of gritty and dry watermelon flesh. Smell the watermelon before cutting into it.

If there's a giant blob of slime on your carpet, you should remove as much of it as possible. Scoop the excess away with a spoon or scrape it off with a knife, working from the outside to the center. Using your vacuum can help remove the slime so you can get to the stain. Vacuum the area in several directions to suck up as much of the dried slime as possible. You can use an upright vacuum or a handheld variety. Be sure the slime is dry before vacuuming so you don't clog up the vacuum. Vinegar, rubbing alcohol, goo remover, citrus solvent, and WD-40 can all be used to remove slime and stains from carpet. Choose whatever you have on hand, or pick up the product of your choice from your local hardware store or superstore. Wear gloves to protect your hands from the chemicals and the dye in the slime. Be sure to test the solution on an inconspicuous spot before treating the stain.
