Melons, Melons, The Cubical Fruit

Square-shaped watermelons are to be sold in the UK. Square-shaped melons, imported from Brazil, will go on sale in the UK beginning in October.

(Actually, they're cubical, not square, points out the math department at Scott's Spot.)

Boxes are placed around the growing fuit which naturally swells to fill the shape.

Tesco exotic fruit buyer Damien Sutherland: "We"ve seen samples of these watermelons and they literally stop you in their tracks because they are so eye-catching. These square melons will make it easier than ever to eat because they can be served in long strips rather than in the crescent shape."

They will go on sale in stores from October for under £5.
