• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Square fruit stuns Japanese shoppers

Only the Japanese would come up with an $83 watermelon.
Yeah but did you notice that it was only 2-3 times the normal watermelon price!!!!
 
Melons were that expensive (allowing for inflation) when I was living in Japan in '75-'78 and '81-'85. Of course the only ones we could get were round :mrgreen: There was a really nice open market near where I lived and I used to go there on Saturdays just to see how expensive things were on the economy.

I remember seeing an article about the square melons several years ago -- nice to see a followup article and know that somebody is making a living in agriculture!! :D
