You really stop at the white part of the rind, before getting to green.

Also, you start to brake on a red light and stop braking on a green light.

I thought golf too, but then I thought of my coffee pot. I start drinking coffee when the red light comes on and I stop drinking it when the coffee turns green. I liked this teaser it made me laugh.
that was great!

very nice...had me thinking...
fourth graders tell this all the time
Very good! I thought of everything but food!
that's excellent
Cute! Real cute!
i'm currently learning to dance, and we've had it drummed into our heads "wait til they lead, wait til they lead"...this so sounded like a trick question "when do you do this..." and the answer is "when he leads it"
The christmas tree or lightboard in dragracing starts on red and stops on green in a descending pattern at the start of each race.
I thought it was EATING A STRAWBERRY!!! Can't believe how close I was
Great Teaser!
Great Teaser!
adoontourious,
It says when you're eating a watermelon, not when you cut one. You don't eat the green part to get to the red part which you eat, b/c then you'd be eating the whole thing!
Strawberry works too (without nitpicky comments, clue clue hint hint)
I thought it was kinda obvious, but it got approved, which is more than any of my teasers can do!

i thought while using the breaks also. but watermelon is way more clever and fun. good one!
Quite a good one. But I thought that in cricket, for a third umpire's decision, when a red light is flashed, the batsman is supposed to make a move towards pavillion. When a green is flashed, he is supposed to stay back.

very clever i new it was some sort of fruit but i couldnt really think of water melon it was very fun good teaser
i hope nobody just keeps going!!!
i like seedless watermelon. i like this teaser, too. excellent!

cute! this one was fun
I immediately thought of my cell phone battery charger. It is RED when I start charging. Then it turns GREEN when it stops. But that's just me.
very clever!!
WHAT A FUNNY AND CLEVER TEASER! YOU FOOLED ME!
This was a good one...and just in time for the hot watermelon weather! I can't believe you stumped me on one so obvious.
Great teaser!! Very creative!
Excellent
Good one! Fun and easy to do!
Am I the only one who thought it could be, "When you're playing Twister?"
Good teaser!

good job

good job
that is really funny! I like the way you think.
That was way too many comments!
that was pretty good accually! i liked it!
i had to put another comment in just to tell u i really liked it! i mean who would have thought of watermelon? i thought it was a stoplight too! crazy huh?
while i hate to be scrupulous , when you eat a watermelon, you have to get through the green before you get to the red, to get back to the green again.ie....cut the watermelon's shell open to get to the red, and when you are done with the red, you get backto the green.
what i just said is probably an extremely argumentable (is that a word?) subject.
hummmm...I know I've heard this one but I forgot the answer.....so geat teaser...I was stumped (but it isnt hard to stump me)
u really had me, i couldnt think of 1 thing...2 thumbs up
it makes me hungry
at first i thought thats too easy 'a stop light' then i read it again. i really lliked it even though i couldn't figure it out
adding to fav.

Somebody has been reading old copies of 'The Chatterbox'. It's more of an old child's joke than a teaser. But, was fun seeing it again.
What's is Imurray problem...a twisted teaser in two languages?

Jun 09, 2006
I was thinking that if you are a daltonist.. then u see green - red and vice-versa
I like!
I second the oldy but goody comment.
People....you put too much thought into this!
I thought of when you ran a stop light. You go when it's red and the cop pulls you over when it's green!

Hadn't heard that one before - definitely stumped me!
Cute
I was thinking of Monopoly
good 1
i think i heard this one before, but i'm very good at forgetting these kinds of things.
Nice to see some of these old 'joksers', or whatever they are, dusted off and brought out now and then. This teaser is in season right now, and I wish you all, a thick, iced slice to enjoy.
I thought the answer might of been pressing the brake petal.
i thought it was candyland
I was somewhere near Candyland, too. Some child's b oard game must work that way.
When you're color-blind. Color-blindness is most often assosciated with being unable to distinguish the difference between red and green--more rarely blue or yellow.
So, if you came to a stop-sign, since red and green are the same to you, you might think "Hey, I'm stopping at a green sign, and then starting at a red one."
Does that count? Hehehe. Watermelon is a more fitting answer.

Nice one! I was thinking about the games Aggravation and Lugo. The person with the green marbles would start on the red spot and finish when their marbles were all in their green "home".
That was a good one. I was thinking living..You start from a pool of red blood and you end in some green grass
you guys imurry was nice today!!
loved it! very fun!
loved it! very fun!
i actually eat the watermelon until i reach the skin.
I was stumped on this one too., Good one!
Loved it!
I thought it was Candyland also.
But i checked the board. You do start on red, but you end on purple.

Excellent, I would have never guessed it!!!!
Very good....this is what is called a groaner...........awwwwwww
This is really cute. I agree that some people will pick these things apart way too much. By the way, I happen to like soulagenda's answer personally!! heh heh!
Funny!
LOL> LOVED IT! NEED TO TELL EVERYONE I KNOW!
Good one! Guess what I was eating when I read it?! Honest I have a plate of watermelon in front of me.
This was pretty easy.
Though we normally start with red and stop on white before reaching green, when we eat watermelon, don't we?

I thought it was the game sorry! Liked it even though I got it wrong.
Loved it!!! Easy but fun. Both my daughters had some trouble getting it and so did my husband. So I gave them clues till they figured it out.
Thanks for such a fun start to my morning!!

I'm really never a critical person, but that one is way overdone! It's a very old joke that I've seen too many times. Sorry....at least everyone else seem to have enjoyed it.
New to me! Good one!
You got me.

I guessed rainbow.....just woke up.
My answer was "at a crosswalk." You cross on green and stop on red.
My first answer was "when you're car number 15 or more at a traffic light ... have you ever seen the light up ahead turn green, but you don't start moving until it's red again ... Then you don't stop until it has turned green?
For you watermelon people who want to get technical ... the "white" is actually a very pale green.

its golf, you start at the red tees and end on the green!!!

morgoth ... I just said that ... look above a couple of entries before yours.
hahaha i like morgoths answer.
oh...and sweetpotatos too =D
Cute!
Cool! But it made me feel stupid! I thought first that the answer was " on opposite day" but your answer makes much more sense!!!
ya got me
DUMB
For all the negative remarks,
I thought it was fun, I love watermelon. Thanks for the post hon.

I thought it was really cute and funny. I think people should definitly be nicer though. I mean it got the teaser of the day didnt it?which is more than most of the people on here can say including me. Loved the teaser though!!
Really fun. I got it right away and I have no idea how. It just came to me. I loved it!
You know theres another answer for this
You shout when you're seeing red and you stop when you see green
but nice one anyways

easy puzzle
great teaser, @ first i thought it had something to do with a stoplight, but then i got the watermelon.
I don't know why but somehow I just didn't like this one. Maybe because it seems more like a joke than a teaser.
I was with ShaelaEsther on this one ... I was sure it was red-green colourblindness! Oh well, it's alright, I've been professionally diagnosed as "thinking too much!"
err I mean, I was sure it was a STOPLIGHT, but with red-green colourblindness. OOpsies!
What makes this Teaser entertaining is the fact that the Creator Makes most people Think in a Well Organized Pool of Suggestions. Red equal Stop in most societies and in most Traffic signalling, While Green means Yes, Go, Approval and so on. Now, Red and Green where food is concern makes the Teaser truly funny. However, as with the Logicians or Creators Common Concepts in society that require the Masses to Follow a Train of thought or Reasoning can actually STand the Test of Time, except in this senario, the creator of the Teaser would have Us to believe, is an Error: Green STILL means Go--> the cutting into the Watermelon to proceed to the Goodness of the Fruit. Red in this Senario Means not stop, but to proceed to the Sweetness of the Fruit. Societal Meaning for Red, Stop, wrong, negative, on the other hand, sweet, goodness, life's flow. Not Stop as you would have us to believe. But you are correct for the Color scheme of Red as it relates to one Subject area of Mass Thinking. I know. Don't bother yourself too much. You, keep writing Teasers that we can enjoy...
Excellent!!! This is one of my favorites to date.
OH YOU GOT ME ON THAT ONE!! I was thing of opposing traffic light or maybe some other signal I didn't know about. Watermelon! Ha HA

I first thought of a roulette wheel. You stumped me with watermelon!!!
I thought the same as 4princesses, the game Sorry would work very well.
I was thinking the game Twister. From (start) Right hand red to (stop) right hand green.
That made my day
Thanks for posting!
Thanks for posting!
I seem to have heard this one before somewhere. It was very familiar, but I still got it wrong.
You got me...I thought Twister, Monopoly, Life and was wrong each time! Never would've thought of watermelon since I don't like it. Great teaser!
Nice teaser.
Cool teaser; thanks!
Excellent - what a shocker!
I agree with Caseyjones. Ho Hum!!
"When do you start on red and stop on green?"
When you want to get into a car accident.

meh.
The editors had to remove a lot of cobwebs to repeat this one.
I've heard this one before, but if I hadn't I don't think I would have answered it correctly. It's a good one for anyone who hasn't heard it before. Thanks for posting!
I thought it was when you were walking on the pedestrian lane.
This was kinda easy
Kinda easy, according to the last comment? Come on now. In no way was that "kinda easy" unless you've heard it before. I'm not buying it.
Anyway... very cool teaser. Quick and simplistic once you hear the answer, without it being a stretch. Nice job.
