whatthefact: For years consumers struggled to fit the large round fruit in their refrigerators. And then there was the problem of trying to cut the fruit when it kept rolling around. But, a forward-thinking farmer on Japan’s south-western island of Shikoku solved the problem. The farmer, from Zentsuji in Kagawa prefecture, came up with the idea of making a cube-shaped watermelon which could easily be packed and stored. - BBC News Apparently this is old news (my sister says she’s seen this a long time ago), but I just learned about it and it’s a swell idea. Too bad it’s thrice the price of a regular watermelon, though.
