JAPANESE BIOLOGISTS DIDN'T (oops sorry about caps) invent square melons. the farmers simply put boxen around them as they grow. Then sell them for $40-100. as gift items. You MUST bring gifts for many diferent occasions in Japan, and noone has a fridge big enough to keep them, so they don't take up space too long. They also take up more space than round ones during shipping, they need special individual wrapping. you cant put a bunch into a basket together.
