Square in a round world...


"A round watermelon can take up a lot of room in a refrigerater and the usually round fruit often sits awkwardly on refrigerator shelves. Smart Japanese Farmers have forced their watermelons to grow into a square shape by inserting the melons into square, tempered glass cases while the fruit is still growing on the vine."

I have pictures of the same thing with pumpkins.....except it was from Disney and they were making the pumpkins into Mickey Mouse Ears.

They were also growing the pumpkins from vine "trees". But you could literally see them hanging there. Very odd, but cool to see.
