The outbreak has reportedly been linked to a grower in the Northern Territory and the contaminated balls of juicy mush and broken dreams have been recalled after a rise in cases of salmonella across several states. The South Australian government have issued a statement essentially saying that all other states should quit their moaning, since as many as a quarter of cases have occurred in South Australia itself.

Not surprisingly, those dwelling outside the fair shores of Australia took issue mostly with the name of the ridiculous fruit.

@dailytelegraph What's a "rockmelon"?

Holy shit you guys call it "rockmelon"? God I love Australians. https://t.co/nfmlKyPI6k

What would you prefer we call it? A cantaloupe -- the weird hybrid of "can't" and "elope?" The fruit looks like a weird lumpy rock okay, we call it how we see it.

Rockmelons have been linked to salmonella outbreaks in the past, most memorably in the '50s, '60s, and 2002 in the U.S.

Can we just throw rockmelon into the fire now?
