For Dallin: I thought it was odd too







Square Watermelons

A round watermelon can take up a lot of room
in a refrigerater 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.

    I wonder if it tastes the same.

    That's very strange, but I like it. If it tastes the same, it would be a hit in my fridge! I never have enough room for them!

    the husband is totally obsessed with this. We were looking at pumpkins the other day, and he commented "now that they have square watermelons, I wonder if they'll attempt on pumpkins." My comment? "I think it would be less fun to carve a square pumpkin. it kinda loses the look of a face!"

    I wonder if you can still pick a sweet watermelon but thumping it.

    Thanks Kim!

    Very odd, but I find square fruit much more practical - I like it!
