Square fruit stuns Japanese shoppers (BBC News
website, June 15, 2001)

• Japan has again shown off one of its
  greatest innovations square watermelons. 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 20 years ago a
  forward-thinking farmer on Japans 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.

39
Square fruit stuns Japanese shoppers (BBC News

• To make it happen, farmers grew the melons in
  glass boxes and the fruit then naturally assumed
  the same shape. Today the cuboid watermelons are
  hand-picked and shipped all over Japan. But the
  fruit on sale in a selection of department stores
  and upmarket supermarkets, appeals mainly to the
  wealthy and fashion-conscious of Tokyo and Osaka,
  Japans two major cities.

40
Square fruit stuns Japanese shoppers (BBC News

• Each melon sells for 10,000 yen,
  equivalent to about 83. It is almost double, or
  even triple, that of a normal watermelon. I
  cant buy it, it is too expensive, said a woman
  browsing at a department store in the southern
  city of Takamatsu.
