Pyramid Shaped Watermelons

August 19th, 2006 by Brent

Pink Tentacle has translated an article from the Asahi Shinbun reporting on pyramid shaped watermelons being cultivated in Nara.

Everybody’s seen the ridiculously overpriced square watermelons ($100 US), so now you can add pyramids to the scheme. According to the article, the grower plans to try shaping “gourds and bottles” out of watermelon next year. Can I put in a request for a car-shaped watermelon?
