Japanese Heart-Shaped Watermelons

    via Gizmodo by Jason Chen on 5/11/09


    Having mastered the art of making square watermelons and even pyramidwatermelons, Japanese farmers turned to making heart-shaped watermelons.

    These 15,750 yen ($160) watermelons were grown by a couple and took three years to perfect down to the point where they were good enough to convince people to pay $160 for them. There's only 20 melons in this batch, but we're sure Mr. and Mrs. Hiroichi Kimura will grow more next season. [Asahi via Japan Probe via Inventor Spotvia Boing Boing]
