Talented "Japan Farmers" But "Too costly for Normal People"

In Japan they have square watermelons.

Farmers in the southern Japanese town of Zentsuji have figured out how to grow their watermelons so they turn out square.
It's not a fad. The technique actually has practical applications. A fat, round watermelon can take up a lot of room in a refrigerator, and the usually round fruit often sits awkwardly on refrigerator shelves.
               But clever Japanese farmers have solved this dilemma by forcing their watermelons to grow into a square shape. Farmers insert the melons into square, tempered glass cases while the fruit is still growing on the vine.

         Japanese farmers growing square watermelons in tempered glass boxes began appearing in 2001, though the method had already been around for 20 years or so. Square watermelons have two distinct advantages over the traditional, oblong-shaped varieties, namely they're easier to store and easier to slice. Admiring customers were quoted as saying they couldn't afford the product, however, which sold at the time for at least twice what a normal watermelon would cost.
