Square Watermellons....LMAO!

[UT4EVER]

bwahahaha!

 

[Locutus of Board]

That's almost as bad as bonsaikitten.

 

[Amused]

Actually, that's a damn fine idea. Not only will they fit in fridges better, but they're easier and less expensive to ship because they pack tighter.

 

[Pretender]

Those Japanese are always up to something...

Bombs are generally round
I think they're taking the roundness out of watermelons and using them for bomb production. Pearl harbor 2, noooo!

 

[GoldenTiger]

Talk about STUPID! Who's going to pay $83 for a watermelon when you can buy normal oval ones at a couple of bucks normally!

 

[UT4EVER]

LOL...

 

[woodly6]

Thats been all over the news today.


Who the hell would pay $86 for a square watermelon?

Who would eat an $86 square watermelon?


Bonsaikitten: now thats a worth while campaign.

Food in Japan is expensive. A standard watermelon is like US$15.

 

[EvanFerguson]

heh

 

[slunk]

I saw a poll on CNN.com regarding this earlier. Hah! I didn't know where the story was for it though.

Obviously you haven't been to Japan or weren't thinking out of the box on that statement.

Watermelons are one of the most expensive fruits in Japan and can cost upto $150 dollars for a nice one. It is considered one of the supreme deserts since how expensive watermelons cost. Its not uncommon to pay $15 dollars for a small slice of watermelon as desert after dinner in restraunts.

-M.T.O

 

[Raspewtin]

ya melons in general are expensive there. a musk melon is like 110 bucks or so.

 

[cmdavid]

Fist of all, if you're lucky enough to find a standard watermelon in japan.. its not going to cost 15$... it costs more like 30-50$..maybe even more...i cant remember... but i know they were damn expensive.... most things are more expensive over there because their economy is higher... pay, living, all that stuff.. more expensive...

i saw that in the news this morning before work, i thought it was funny. they place them in glass square jars and make them grow in there. thus, giving them that shape, funny

danny~!

 

[DannyLove]

didnt they make a joke about this in one of the simpsons episodes when they are in japan and homer buys it for a lot of $$ then drops it, lol

danny~!

 

[Raspewtin]

i could see gallagher going over to Tokyo for a show, hitting watermelons with a hammer, and people shreiking in distate at the horrendous waste of yen

 

[MrBond]

You guys ever see that Simpsons episode where they go to Japan? Homer sees the square watermellons, and they're like 20,000 yen. He picks one up, it pops back to normal shape, and he drops it. Of course there's the characteristic "Doh!"

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Whats wrong with anything the has WATA in the name?

 

[UT4EVER]

d@mn, I missed that episode

 

[jackywebdesign]

Amazing, the Simpsons actually predicted something!!! Or did they watch the Simpsons and get the idea???

 

[vash]

Have you guys been to Japan and looked at the fridges? Definitely smaller than what we have here, so this makes sense. Sure, the price tag is high, but the intentions are good and I'll bet a few people will buy 'em. I'd surely buy one for a "neato" factor, but that's all I'd buy with such a premium. In the states, watermelons are cheap, but in Japan, they are more expensive.

[DannyLove]

is there an echo in here MrBond
