Square Watermelons

A round watermelon can take up a lot of room in a refrigerator and the usually round fruit often sits awkwardly on refrigerator shelves.

Smart Japanese Farmers have forced their watermelons to grow into a square shape by inserting the melons into square, tempered glass cases while the fruit is still growing on the vine.




This make sense to me - sure would make cutting them easier!

I saw that and from a shipping and storage standpoint it makes sense. When you get one and cut it up to eat it, though, you'll find out it isn't easy getting your round mouth into the square corners.
