The Year Of The Square Watermelon

The Japanese have perfected a more refrigerator- friendly watermelon--for $80 a square. Stateside,a Pennsylvania entrepreneur is offering an e-book on HOW TO GROW YOUR OWN SQUARE WATERMELONS.

He's selling it for $19.95  Could 2008 be the year when we are all sitting around with square watermelons?

The Japanese decided to try growing a  square watermelon because Japanese  grocery stores  and home refrigerators are much smaller than their American counterparts and they wanted a more Japanese compatible watermelon.

I imagine the American entrepreneur decided to grow a square watermelon because it looks fun,will be a real conversation starter at the family reunion, and he's hoping that his e-book will sell a few copies.

In a year of insane food prices the grow your own square watermelon might just be the thing to bring a smile to stressed out Americans who will look at the garden and  cheer up when they see this square where an oval really should be.

If I had a yard, I'd try growing a square watermelon...just because. Hey, and even though our refrigerators might be bigger than Japanese models,I have never had a refrigerator big enough for a watermelon. Even the half watermelons take up too much room.

  For the past several years I have been buying the pre-cut version. However, given the higher cost of everything seeing the potential of the square watermelon has inspired me: I will cut my own this summer watermelon up this summer and instead of making watermelon balls I plan to cut them  into lovely mini watermelon squares

Hey Elana

I found your site when searching about greeting cards.

I LOVE your tagline "Everything about business but the bottomline"

That is so creative and makes me think about the other things that happen in my business and not just the money.
