wideSpeedWatermelon

The "wideSpeedWatermelon" emote features a watermelon with a human-like face that appears to be making a puckered or kissing expression. The emote is stretched horizontally to give it a "wide" appearance, which is a common format variation in Twitch emote culture. The "Speed" in the name likely refers to it being used in fast-paced moments or to convey excitement.

This emote combines several popular Twitch emote trends: the anthropomorphized food item, the wide format modification, and the exaggerated facial expression. It's typically used to express humor, excitement, or to spam chat during high-energy moments.

The wideSpeedWatermelon emote appears to be a modified version of a watermelon face meme that gained popularity in internet culture. The original watermelon face image became popular as a reaction image on various platforms before being adapted into the Twitch emote ecosystem.

The emote is likely a community-created emote that was uploaded to one of the third-party emote services like 7TV, BetterTTV (BTTV), or FrankerFaceZ (FFZ), which allow streamers to use custom emotes beyond Twitch's official offerings. The "wide" format became particularly popular around 2019-2020 when stretching emotes horizontally became a trend in Twitch culture.

Without access to the specific upload date on the emote platforms, it's difficult to pinpoint exactly when this particular variation was created, but similar watermelon face emotes have been circulating in the Twitch community for several years.

The wideSpeedWatermelon emote is typically used in the following contexts:

• During high-energy moments in streams, such as clutch plays in games or exciting announcements
• When a streamer is moving quickly or speedrunning content
• As part of emote spam waves in chat, especially during raids or hype trains
• To express excitement or enthusiasm about something happening on stream
• Sometimes used ironically when something is moving very slowly, as a contrast to the "Speed" in its name
• During summer-themed streams or discussions about food
• When viewers want to create a visually impactful message in chat that stands out due to the wide format
