Japan has release watermelon sodas before, but this year, the newest flavor on the block is Salty Watermelon. Sounds risky to me, I've noticed people ever love watermelon with salt on it, or they think it's just plain disgusting. Being someone from the later group, I certainly wouldn't be a big fan of this new brew.

In Japan, it is quite common to eat salt with watermelon. (As well as salt with rice)

@Bluer, seconded for the South. Being raised in the Northeast I had never heard of such a practice, but Southerners definitely advocate for salting watermelon. Never got into it myself.

It's definitely a southern thing. I grew up in SC (actually on a watermelon farm) and most of my family and friends put salt on their watermelon. I however, never enjoyed the taste of salted watermelon! :)
