Heart-shaped Watermelon



You can say "awww" first. Then you can look at the price tag of 15,760 yen (about $160) for one. Holy cow. It took the Japanese couple 3 years to perfect, but they finally produced perfect heart-shaped watermelons and will surely be producing more in the future for such high prices.

My question is not HOW they did this, but WHY?? I mean, a watermelon doesn't really say, "I love you." Of course, who am I to judge? Maybe there are lots of couples who are very fond of watermelons and want to use them to express their love....

Who knows, Chris? The Japanese seem to always be finding something new and creative to do, so maybe they just saw one that looked similar to a heart one day and ran with the idea!
