Stupidly fun: Watermelon Survives 45m Drop Test!!
Line-X is an industrial spray originally meant for coating truck beds, but with exciting applications in protecting supermarket produce and bowling balls.
Followup video: Egg Survives 45m Drop Test With Line-X!
The videos were shot at the Gravity Discovery Centre in Gingin, West Australia, which looks like a pretty fascinating place all by itself. They also provide a video of their own unprotected watermelon drop from the gravity tower, so apparently that's a thing.

The watermelon didn't survive exactly. The casing did.

And that is why there was a watermelon in a hydraulic press in the basement of the Banzai Institute.

You're supposed to say something like "Does Line-X come in blue?"

They've done a bunch of other silly videos that have nothing to do with Line-X; I have no idea whether they have any association with it at all, but it's clearly not their thing.
If you were implying that I have something to do with Line-X, perhaps you should take it to MetaTalk.
