This is one for the history books.*
In case you missed it, about 800,000 people tuned in to Facebook Live on Friday to watch two Buzzfeed staffers explode a Watermelon using **thing but rubberbands.
Here's the moment when the distorted fruit finally caves under the pressure of about 600 or so.*
The Twitterverse was quick to chime in on the groundbreaking moment in history, while budding entrepreneurs sought to capitalize through Watermelon merchandise.*
The explosion even spawned a slew of hard-hitting investigative pieces.*
Meanwhile, others were left scratching their head, asking existential questions such as "How did I get here?"*
What a time to be alive.*
