We have seen pyramidal watermelons before, and we have known that square watermelons have been on the Japanese market for some time. I have never seen one in my local market, but I would definitely not mind getting my hands on one just for the novelty factor. Fortunately, I caught a post that showed how to do it when I was browsing at Boing Boing. It looks like you just put the immature watermelon into a box with a removable side. As it matures, it grows into the shape of the box - just like a bonsai kitten, but much less disturbing.

A square watermelon is easier to cut. Does not roll around. Modern marvels-modern science.

I think that is cool, because when you slice it, you'll have all the same size pieces. I would love to be able to buy watermelon like that, if the price wasn't any higher than the regular ones.
