i have just read this and thought it was quite amusing ......
Square-shaped watermelons created for easy storage are to hit stores in the UK.
The bizarre-looking cuboid fruit caused a stir in Japan when they went on sale there five years ago. UK shoppers will get their first taste of the Brazilian-grown melons from October, according to Tesco. Farmers create the fruit's unusual shape by putting them in transparent boxes while they grow. The melons take around 60 days to reach maturity.
