WATERMELONS

I've always been amazed at the ingenuity of the Japanese but when I saw these watermelons, I was really blown away.


A watermelon in the shape of a pyramid. The price on the tag is Y50,000 (approx. US$469). Wow.



A trapezoid-looking watermelon and a cube-shaped one.




A really yellow watermelon, and 2 heart-shaped ones. Question is, is anyone going to buy these watermelons before they ripen and rot?

Wow, a pyramid! I've heard that in Japan they grew cube shaped ones (in crates, as I understand) so they'd stack nicely for shipping...but I'd never seen one before!

My sister has been telling me that the cost of watermelon there is astronomical. We used to grow those things in our gardens for just the cost of water to water them with. They are yummy, though.
