square watermelon
Because watermelons can take up a lot of space because they are round, the Japanese decided to solve this problem by growing square watermelons. It is actualy quite straight forward to do this: simply place a strong square casing around the watermelon while it is still growing on the vine and you will end up with a square melon that you can stack and store easy!
