My husband, grown kids & grands love cucumbers & watermelon and I will buy them for them but someone has to cut them,and I usually leave the room when they eat them.
Funny thing is I like most pickles.

Cucumbers and watermelons get all my votes. Love both of them and never get enough of either one. I do like salt on my melon, any melon, but since I have to restrict my salt intake in the summer, no salt on that melon.

From "Livestrong.com" --One cup of sliced cucumbers, with the skin on, also contain 223.60 IU of vitamin A, which is 4.5 percent of the RDA, and 5.5mg of vitamin C which is almost 10 percent of the RDA. Other trace vitamins in cucumbers are niacin and folate (both from the B vitamin family), B6, vitamin E and vitamin K.
"Trace" means there is not very much of them, so that kind of disproves the "good source of B vitamins" thing.
They are low in calories and high in fiber. However to quote Fred Sanford, cucumbers "make me burp."

Count me in with the "hates watermelon AND cucumbers" group! I can't stand to eat either one. Although strangely enough, I do like the Bath & Body Works and/or Avon cucumber-scented products and use them often. Weird, huh?!
