Growing up in the American South I always put salt on my watermelon, but in the last few years I’ve come to really like Tajin seasoning on fruit especially pineapple. As an adult I like to put finishing salt on my watermelon but occasionally like Tajin if I’m in the mood. Where do the folks here stand? Any other watermelon/summer fruit seasoning I’m missing out on?

I’ve not done either. I salt my grapefruit since I was a kid though
Chamoy
Neither
Tajin! I also like it on popcorn.
Yes!!! I love it on all fruit
Ooo try cucumber with one or the other and a touch of lime juice
Salt! All the way. Makes my mouth water thinking about it. I’m ready for some Watermelon and salt shaker.
Tajiiiiiin.
Hear me out: neither.
Both! I’m also late to the Tajín / pickles combination, so good!
FOR IT!! Mango also
Rim a margarita glass with it.
I don’t know that I’ve had a fruit yet that doesn’t work with Tajin, though haven’t attempted blueberries or grapes. Don’t think anyone needs to go to extremes.
Salt and lime
Yes
Tajin for sure!
You need to be jailed for this lol! JK. I personally hate salt on melon, so no and no.
Both…love them both for different reasons…
Tajin, personally. I do the same w/ Filipino mangoes! I prefer sour over salty!
Salt! Just try it ( ;
Tajin.
Or you can try Tay Ninh shrimp salt. It sounds weird but it’s addictive.
Salt
I like both! Not at the same time.
Miguelito and chamoy

Salt, love it.
Yes
Eating watermelon as a snack is not something I experienced until I was an adult (PNW-born) and went to like a baby shower or something.
It sucked. Watermelon is basically flavorless 🤷🏻♀️
Salt and lime juice.
Tajin and some extra lime 😋
LIME!
I prefer salt. It’s to the point and more likely to be available everywhere. Like my grandmas may have a water melon in the fridge, she will have salt in the cupboard but the likelihood of her having tajin is slim to none.
Tajin
I’m reporting you to god
