Look at this!! I love it!! Its wonderful! Amazing ! A freak Of nature! (Well not so freakish I am sure ,a little shaped yes!)
You may all think that its genetically modified or that its got some 23 trillion chemicals in it to make it like this,but, to make it square (and we are just talking about the squareness here not the taste)there is nothing added.
Japan heralded this new technique in 2001 apparently to save room.Yes! the dimensions are those that would enable you to fit the damn thing in your fridge without taking up too much space! Its height is perfect to sit it on your fridge shelf .
To make a square water melon??? Well encase it in a glass box while its still on the vine and Voila!
I had the exciting honour of seeing one of these last summer and had to take a pic! It was mighty pricey tho! We were looking at 7 thousand yen for this puppy! Ha, a mere $70 or 50 pounds! I think I'll take 3 please! Oh and heres another interesting fact.The watermelon originates from Egypt and is believed to be about 5,000 years in history and makes an appearance in ancient hieroglyphics......rock on watermelons!!!
