Over the summer every day should be Watermelon Day, but on August 3rd it gets national attention. It deserves it. There is little more refreshing on a hot summer&#8217;s day than a giant wedge of watermelon. The bigger the better. It makes me feel like a little kid all over again. I remember grabbing a slice bigger than my head and spitting all the seeds at my little brother. Honestly, is it even a summer gathering until someone busts out the watermelon?<\/p>\n<p>Food memories are special. Eating my grandma\u02bcs brisket during the holidays will always make me happy because it brings me back to spending time with my family. I already shared the memories that eating watermelon brings up for me. You can do the same with your subscribers with a National Watermelon Day <a href=\"https:\/\/ui.benchmarkemail.com\/email-marketing\/email-campaigns\">email campaign<\/a>. It\u02bcs a chance to break out of your usual template colors too. A watermelon pink email is sure to stand out. Have fun with it.
