Square watermelon

Square watermelons are watermelons grown into the shape of a cube. This is generally intended for space efficiency in small refrigerators. The practice of growing cube watermelons is popular in Japan. However, the cube watermelons are often very expensive and therefore are sold more as an ornamental novelty.
==Information==
Square watermelons were intended to fit more compactly in refrigerators and be able to be cut more easily (without rolling). According to the ''BBC'', the watermelons were invented around the 1980s by a farmer who lived on Shikoku in Zentsuji, Kagawa. The melons are grown in boxes and assume the shape of the container. They tend to appeal to wealthy or fashionable consumers because in 2001 costed anywhere from two to three times that of a normal watermelon (at about $83).
One American newspaper published in 1979 suggests that some of the square melons were developed by Tomoyuki Ono, a horticulturist.
Since the square watermelon, other shapes have been introduced such as hearts and pyramids.
