lmfaoooooo bruh
This comments the best LOL
Whats the difference?
Japanese parents are hardcore
😆🤣😂
After 8 years, the UA-cam Algorithm had decided that I'm finally mentally prepared to learn the truth about square watermelons. While my heart is heavy from the disappointment, I take solace in knowing that eggplant-shaped plantains are real and taste wonderful.
Same dude
There’s another practice of growing pears in little Buddha molds
A couple of weeks ago it showed me the truth about bananas. They are all clones from one that had no seeds...the thing is I wasn't mentally prepared to know that and till this day I can't stop thinking about the nightmarish pictures of the old bananas with seeds 😂😂😂
Eggplant shaped plantains?!
LoL, same
"Just like in the fine arts, the agricultural cubism can't be understood by everyone." What a line.
lame excuse for wasting food and resources to produce food
Same as stupidity, not everyone get that
fine arts? you mean modder arts where a toilet is considering art
Like "fine arts", is it for money laundering and tax evasion as well?
Everyone in this thread is a virgin.
"How it looks inside" Wow, thanks so much for giving us a one-second view of the inside.
That was perfect cut .It was kinda sarcastic

It is not an ordinary watermelon. It is dead inside, rotten. Here in Turkey nobody would it that watermelon. If you want to eat real fruits come and visit Mediterranean region. I pitty people eats these shitty fruits. This is a watermelon ua-cam.com/video/PvCrYJluYas/v-deo.html

Why can't eat it? It's just water melon just not riped
What's the point of buying it if you can't eat it!
Unknown Human thata bs not for consumption
I wonder what would happen if they let the watermelon keep growing after achieving the shape and taking to metal form off. Would it grow to be completely round/oval or retain some squareness?
I think it would become a mix of square and sphere.
So *"SQUPHERE"* .
@@Th3-WhOwOl3y-TrEeNiT3a squepherfwe is my* yfsvorite frushspe
They mentioned the watermelon can easily crack. I’m thinking they cut it off the vine as soon as it has become cube-shaped to minimize risk of cracking. Almost like you’re blowing up a balloon too large and it could pop. However, I am curious what would happen if they changed the size of the cage little by little to get a larger one. Would it be more ripe and less of an ornamental plant? Would it keep its shape or crack?
@@seanmcpherson2801 They also mentioned @ 0:41 that because of low rainfall the harvest wasn't that much. So I guess increasing the size would obviously be a gamble.
@@neiltsakatsa the harvest has more to do with the number of watermelons rather than size. The size they picked was so that it would fit perfectly in refrigerators. Any bigger, and they won't fit.
I don't care why after 8 years I'm ended up being here. I just loved square watermelon 🍉🍉
You cant even eat it though
Perfect example of "which looks beautiful from outside is not always the same from inside".... So look for the inner beauty which is REAL.❤️
Its for perfect packaging
@@dineshkumarshukla8173 yeah but not tasty like round watermelons. We eat fruits so taste is the real matter or real beauty here. Packaging is not the main purpose and general people don't waste money for such watermelons which have just good shape but don't have any good taste.
Well that watermelon is a cutie but IMMATURE inside i guess

Japan: am I a joke to you?
That’s very interesting and educational. I thought they would be the same inside as a round watermelon. I knew that they grew square watermelons in Japan but I didn’t know they were more expensive and not as tasty.I learn something new every day.
Yes i thougt the same, i would rather buy a cheaper round and tasty Watermelon😅👍
It was funny “the shape is more important than content of watermelon”.
Just like youtube videos these days
It's for packaging purpose actually. Nice guess tho.
@@SandMan1998 packaging purpose..?
Really?? What are you going to do imwith it when you can't eat it.. what's the need of packaging
@@totallyahololivesimp facts.
not everyone will appreciate cubism
Wow, I've heard about them for years, I never knew they weren't edible.
7 years no reply but you have 420 likes.And now I am the first reply.
In one of my science textbooks as a kid there was a picture of one of these watermelons! So cool to have this video pop up to see again
If it keeps growing, it either cracks like they said, or the outer portion basically grows "around" the metal. Once grew pumpkins against a chain link fence. Noticed one growing on a vine that had tangled into the fence and left it. So, it made this really cool creepy pumpkin by September lol
Square watermelons were a novelty back around the late 1970s. Some grocery stores stacked them on top of each other. The novelty died out, and today, as this video points out, not many Japanese farmers are willing to go to the extreme amount of labor to get square melons.
"Not gonna lie they got us in the first half. " is this whole video
DEADASS
“They had us in the first half not gonna lie”
I think to solve the issue ,they should increase the size of the cage. Or grow some different variety.
That Probably what didn't work
"Ordinary watermelons are 3-4 times cheaper" - so $25 for a watermelon? Unavailability of fresh fruits and vegetables is one of the bigger downsides of Japan
I just spent over 30 USD (4000 yen) for a watermelon in Japan. Fruit is so expensive here. But you either pay or just miss out.
@@samiamagainagain but why tho it’s not like it’s 30$ for the best thing ever it’s just a watermelon some cheap fuit that taste nothing. Seriously at 30$ you get tenderloin + all you need for a sauce and veggies why spend that much on a fruit that taste water
@@bobmorane2082 Because that's our only option here in Japan. That, or growing it ourselves, which we are doing by the way. But with one large watermelon, I make about 30 smoothies so it's worth it to me and my kids to buy one before our garden watermelons are ready.
They are like $1.7/lb, a $25 watermelon would be quite large. That's the same price we pay in germany for off-season watermelons from south america.
@@samiamagainagain Definitely if I lived in Japan I would to the same thing the US Army did during WWII and set up a hydroponic system to grow all my produce. Considering how technologically open Japan is, I'm surprised they don't do more hydroponic stuff like here in America in the north.

Spend 100 bucks on a fruit that I can't even eat? Sign me up!
Exactly, who tf would spend that much money on a display item that you can't eat that you're gonna have to throw out after a while. Plus the inside looks fucking yucky.
against natural law
It's ancient Japanese art of making "fudekorata" (フデコラタ, food+decoration) that started in previous millennium and it's even older than broadband internet...
Ornamental plants are definitely a thing and for say a wedding or other event this could be cute for a table arrangement.
sounds like the american 🇺🇸 way to me 👩🏻🦳
Ngl, they do make some good looking decoration/ plants. The texture is really nice and comes out even more when squared
I don’t think most people in this comment section understand that fruits(along with a range of other items) in Japan don’t serve only the purpose of being fruits/food. They are often a sign of status and appreciation.
A status sign because they charge *so much* more for the best looking fruits, like perfectly shaped vivid-red strawberries and the square watermelons. And not everyone has the money to spare on something like that instead of buying something that is useful(actual food, clothes, etc).
An exemple on how it’s a sign of appreciation can be noticed if you look at the end of the video, there’s perfect looking melons with ribbons on the shelf, their purpose is to serve as gifts to show someone you appreciate them.

The Japanese way, "How to turn an abundant and cheap source of food, into something expensive and inedible."
I take offense to this. Sushi was fast food in japan. Until AMERICANS (which I am) drove up the price of it. Also think about Japan. Do you see tons of space to grow produce? So land to grow is very expensive considering there is almost no free land. Japan is very tiny. Which is why the prices are very high.
magebotjz2 That's my point exactly. They already don't have a lot of land, yet they waste it by growing watermelons that cannot be eaten for ornamental purposes. Oh yes, sushi is still considered fast food, that doesn't mean it's not expense. Btw, how much does a Mcdonald's Big Mac cost in Japan now? Last time I was there I seem to recall it was about 900 yen, which was about $9 at the time.
Better than Debeers: How to turn a worthless rock that's only good for keeping saws sharp into the most iconic symbol of love in the world, then use that value to fuel war.
The Japanese aren't the only ones trying to inflate the value of objects in food. All you've proved with your comment is that you are a racist by tying this act of wastefulness exclusively to Japan (which is dumb in itself because just because a few people in Japan thought it was a good idea, apparently it means all of Japan thought it was a good idea)
Btw, beef is expensive in Japan, which is why big-macs are so expensive, and its more of a novelty food of "this is what American's eat". Which makes me questions why the hell you were in a Mc Donalds in Japan anyway.
Impressive farming skills…you can tell they don’t cut any corners
Thank you! I've wondered for years!
What are they doing to my children...
Bash yo gotta say hi to me
Those monsters
that's cool and I am sorry that you had to see what they did to your children bash.
HOW DARE THEY!!!
Poor bash
it's funny how the english translation of what the woman was saying is nothing like what she actually said. she was talking about how to get more defined and uncracked corners on the melons, not taking care of them like your own child.
That would have been more interesting. I wanted to know how they got it so it would not crack.
They look awesome!
If you make one in a pyramid shaped mold, the melon will have mystical healing properties.
If you cant eat it because its not ripe enough, Then why not build a bigger square box so it has more time to fill the space and get ripe. $100 bucks seems kinda steep for some damn square fruit. no matter how rare it is. It's one of those things you see like "cool" now what lol.
just a made up theory but i think its because if the case is to big it might not fill because watermelons dont grow bigger that certaint size. and letting it rip may let melons be prone to crack.
Shinron Vaynex yeah, I had that in mind as well. seems to be correct, well to each his own and if that's what some are into then who am I to judge. thanks for shedding a bit of light on this theory any how. take care
That was the first thing I thought of... make the box bigger you nimbwit... but hey, I dont think im artistic enough make that decision lol.
Because you can't justify a $100 food item, but you can justify it for an item for decoration.
Jordan Smith well why do you think they made it a square then? i dont think a normal water melon would fit, even if it does it will roll. if it were square it will fit easyer and wont roll. cant use a norm to justify something abnormal. besides i dont know about you but i like my melons cold ad refreshing.
shout out to you for actually opened one for us.
That color inside surprises me more. Never seen before.
Thank you for your honesty.
I guess you could do this with pumpkins 🎃. No need to worry about them being ripe . I think it would make a great looking jack-o'-lantern.

And as the population for MINECRAFT players increase, the amount of creative minds also increase, and we will be able to take what we have in Minecraft and build it in real life. :)
but the people is getting rounder
So is your face...
Pipers Dungen I don't want a bunch of "creative" kids taking the penises that they've built in Minecraft and building them in reality
I work on an organic farm and we shape many different vegetables with bolted plastic frames, my favorite is a Frankenstein head shaped pumpkin.
I thought this was one of those edited clickbait thumbnails at first but as always, Japan proves me wrong with their innovative ingenuity.
Wait, they normaly cost 100 dollars and the round ones are 3-4 times cheaper...so a normal round watermelon is still 25dollars???!!
Apparently, lol
4$ here in Iraq :)
Lol 2.50$ here in saudi arabia , plus noodle is 0.25$ , chips 0.25$ , pepsi n coke 0.50$

yes, we all know that dollars are worth more in other countries with worse economies.
less than 5 dollars in supermarkets here in México, around 3 in the farmer markets
I remember seeing square watermelons in Super Mario Sunshine in one of the hidden platform levels. Honestly I never knew they were a real thing.
Yeah same. That's where I first saw them in the Sirena Beach Secret level on the top floor
Yeah cuz Mario was made in japan
Same, this is pretty neat.
Yeah, that instantly popped into my mind as well! :D
I love the idea. It is not a chemical alteration and it is a great way to make an efficient shape for transport and storage. It seems like they could improve the method so it's easy, produces a yummy fruit, and is so efficient to handle at all phases that it's cheaper for the consumer.

Imagine you get a gift packed at your wedding but when you open it after wedding ,you get this squared melons thinking of something else😂
🙄🙂😅😏
On your reference to wedding giftsI am reminded of a joke. The bridegroom gifts the beautician of his bride with a costly smartphone, a day after the marriage. Excited she unwraps the gift only to find an ordinary Cellphone. Disappointed she calls up the bridegroom who says , I paid you back in your own coin !
Fun fact: in Japan people use square watermelons as gifts
Anyone else had an awesome childhood and is reminded of Mario Sunshine?
yeah
I was thinking the same thing :D
yea
Omg yess

-But they're watermelons not pumpkins- Agreed.
But easy to pack n transport

Opposite Rabbit whats your point? pumpkins can be eaten too, and are quite delicous, but not the ones used for jack o lanterns - once they get that large they arent any good for eating.
regardless, i say if someone enjoyed an object, its not a waste
What is the point of growing it if you can't eat it? Just to sit and look at a square watermelon? Are there not more pressing issues in Japan?
They just don't "have time for that." Yet somehow they find time to create devices for making fucking cube watermelons.

The country that loves watermelon and has it as a symbol is Japan. Watermelons are highly popular in Japan, and they are often associated with summer and various festivals. Additionally, watermelon-related merchandise, such as watermelon-shaped items and accessories, are commonly found in Japanese culture.
At 0:55 you must take care of every single watermelon as if its your child. Then at 1:35 - 1:39 its been sliced into two. Are you fucking kidding me?
They only did that to show that it isn't edible and they sliced it to prove it. People mainly use it as a gift or a decoration
+Abdiqayum Mujahid Great........Now you've got Planned Parenthood interested.-lol

I thought they were economically resourceful with the technology movement, this takes it to a new level.
I don't really understand why this is rare. We grow watermelons. Couldn't I just make a square box mold like that for it to grow in and grow my own square melons?
oh, nevermind. it tastes like shit.
You mean that you just grew a whole watermelon in a single day ? I don't quite know why but I have problems believing you !
JeremyB796 actually once it starts ripening the outside part of the watermelon, the rind, grows weaker and splits because of it being forced into a square shape. So you can't grow one ripened and square. The watermelon will not support it.
JeremyB796 Hehe. Bulge.
