Square Watermelon – Have you seen a Square Watermelon? If yes, good for you! They said Japanese had these for years. But a company in Panama is hoping to join a small position in the fruit export business sending its first shipment of 120 boxy melons to New York.
The company expects to produce about 3,000 of the molded melons this year, and will send them to the Netherlands and Germany as well.
Operations manager Gerardo Diaz said Wednesday that people are surprised at first because “it is not what they were expecting.”
“Later they ask if it is a genetic experiment,” he said
Diaz said the watermelons are natural. They are made to grow inside cube-shaped glass boxes and conform to the mold as they get bigger.
The first melons cost about $75 apiece, but producers hope to bring the price down.
When I was young, watermelons were shaped like a blimp, then they became round, now they’re square! :) Some says, Boxed-shaped Watermelon is sick and wrong. They are tampering the nature’s way. But if they are as sweet as the blimpie ones, I guess it is okay yet, are people really paying $75 for one?
