You never know until you open it up if it's ripe enough and if it isn't, it's too late. Once it's opened, it won't ripen up and you're stuck.

Years ago, I bought a cantaloupe and as I was driving home, the smell of it was overpowering. I thought it was rotten. I put it in the refrigerator with the rest of my groceries. A couple of days later I thought why am I saving this rotten cantaloupe so I cut it open to throw it out and it looked good so I tasted it. It was the sweetest, juiciest cantaloupe I ever had. I've never been that lucky with picking out a cantaloupe in my life.
