I did this as a snack for my two year old last weekend. He loved it.

I put salt on watermelon, it brings out the flavor more.

Imagine salt doing to food that thing it does to food.

Exactly, but lots of people are incredulous about the idea of salt on melon.

Because salt helps draw out the water in the fruit which makes it juicier and taste sweeter. Just a little bit does a lot for it.

Also sweet + salty is a great combo.

Because it's even better with Morton salt?

Morton Feldman salt or Morton Subotnick salt though?
