Are we really that helpless and rich that wee need to do this for a bit of watermelon?

You should use a box type container.

Has to be a troll. What kind of moron doesn't know how to put watermelon in a Tupperware container? Scary.

I would get three estimates from companies that operate refrigerated trucks to transport the watermelon. I've heard that sometimes the county coroner will rent you their van for cheap (when they aren't busy). Other than that I would have to ask the fire department or inquire with the fire department?

Because you possess common sense?

How about cutting it into cubes for easy eating? Put it into any container. Eat with forks. Easy peasy.

That's a great idea, I will try that. Other people said foil, but I think that would leak.

This helpful tip was in that thread, but I can't find a watermelon transporter anywhere. Does anyone know where to get one? Otherwise, I guess I will go to target and look for a large tupperware container. I don't have anything large enough.

I use the watermelon transporter I bought at a friend's watermelon transporter party. Honestly, I might start selling them myself. You just ask your friends to a party and they buy these watermelon transporters from you. Fun and easy easy way to make cash.

I would like to take sliced watermelon to the pool and barbeques this summer. I confess that I have not done this before. What type of container works best? I would like to get a big watermelon, and slice into pieces and transport the slices.
