Square watermelon anyone?

I stumbled upon this peculiar sight while googling 'watermelon' today. Ericahi
I did a little research and apparently Japan has a 'space problem' and now grow watermelons in square glass boxes whilst growing on the vine. They sell for approx 85$ US EACH! The whole thing flabbergasts me to be quite honest. I do see the practical benefits, but it seems a tad extreme. What do you think?

  2. lol, the joys of being a school teacher - i have 3 spelling groups this year, each being named after a fruit. I was making laminated spelling group signs and needed a w.m image. :)

  3. I can't believe they actually exist! I saw one in an episode of 'The Simpsons' once - but didn't think they were real... lol

  5. yes very extreme, but did you see the guy who is growing heart shaped strawberries for Valentine's day? They will be about $2 each I was told! $2 for one strawberry also extreme, but I do love the idea!
