For most Americans, not only does The 4th of July mean backyard BBQs and fireworks, but it’s also a time to step up your table centerpiece game.

Charles Phoenix knows this, and has created a series of Watermelon Mascots that will improve any table. Inspired by a photo from 1976, the watermelons use various foodstuffs, applied by Phoenix, to bring them to life.

So, they’re like Mr. Potato Head, but far more perishable and patriotic. U-S-A!!! U-S-A!!
