Was at Daiei shopping for groceries (as one does) and came across this Square Watermelon. I've heard of these but never saw one myself and thought I would share with you. Cant remember how much it costs but I was assured that the taste is the same as a normal watermelon...

    I know this one well~
    It is produce in Taiwan,

    and it is grow within a square glass

    Why it is so expansive?
    1: From Taiwan to Japan, the tax
    2: this idea has copyright, and each purchase has a high value added.
    3: when it was 1st announced, the glass was not designed to be able to reuse. Once the fruit has grow up to the size that cannot take out from the glass, and it is always, the glass has to be brake. The cost of the glass.
    4: The farmer only plant an amount, so there are only a few been produced.
    5: the farmer has signed contract with certain wholesaler only, since it is been monopolized of cause the price goes up!

    aren't those watermelons outrageously expensive?

    I've seen these before. I haven't gotten to try it though. I wonder how it's grown.

    They working on doing this process to the heads of all Cisco tech's. It's good for I.D.ing them, easy to pick out of the crowd and harass and such.
