Vicious Watermelon tamed by the Japanese...


http://www.snopes.com/photos/odd/watermelon.asp

The ever efficient Japanese farmers have finally tamed the most savage of critters... the Watermelon, leaving more stackable space in your fridge for other stuff... that's... um... stackable.

Is this a cool idea or an abomination of nature that should have people like PETA crying foul about watermelon rights?

You decide,

That is pretty cool...

Reminds me of some investigators I taught who joined the church and their schnapps bottle collection... a number of the little bottles had the fruit actually inside them. The manufacturer had put the bottles over the germinated flowers on the tree and the pear or apricot or cherry or whatever had grown inside the bottle until time to pick and add the schnapps and cork at the distillery...

These have been around for years. They just look funky. Cat's right about how you can grow stuff inside containers.

If your into growing cool stuff I suggest Birdhouse Gords. We grew them one hear and the vines climbed up the trees and made it look like we were growing gords from some strange tree. You can use them to hold water or make bird houses.

It is very handy to pack things as much as you can in Japan. :)

Those are pretty cool, but NO WAY you'd catch me paying $82 for a watermelon...
