Square Watermelons A round watermelon can take up a lot of room in a refrigerater and the usually round fruit often sits awkwardly on refrigerator shelves. Smart Japanese Farmers have forced their watermelons to grow into a square shape by inserting the melons intosquare, tempered glass cases while the fruit is still growing on the vine. Also, check out these amazing Japanese "rocket" chairs. Very creative way to save space! http://www.nvhotels.com/docs/accommodations/08_mar_apr/watermelons.pdf
