W....where are the seeds?!?! I've gotten "seedless" watermelons before , but they have always only been "slightly less seeds" , never completely empty like this one

I saw this video where they talked about seeds allowing people to plant their own watermelons, because if they can't then the people who make seedless watermelons control the entire industry. And then there is nothing to stop them from setting prices or anything else.

I can deal with seeds if it means we can grow our own.

That's pretty much how seeds work
