YouTuber Shares Video of Foaming Watermelon, Sparking Online Discussion

YouTuber Gaurav Taneja, known as Flying Beast, shared a viral video showing a watermelon emitting thick foam over several hours, sparking online debate about its cause. The fruit, bought locally and left unrefrigerated, began foaming due to possible natural fermentation or gas formation, according to the vendor. The incident reignited concerns about watermelon safety following a recent poisoning case linked to contaminated fruit, though no chemicals were confirmed in Taneja's watermelon.
