Triangular Watermelon

82522-918027-thumbnail.jpgCheck out the new shape.

I've seen cube shaped watermelons in Japan before. But this is a first, a triangular-pyramid shaped watermelon. A full 10000 yen more expensive than the cube shaped ones too. One word... Why?

any excuse to make something more expensive, the Japanese will do it. And the funny thing is, there's always someone there to buy it. At least the square watermelons make sense, in terms of shipping and everything. Triangle? Just strange.
