You'd swear it was April Fool's Day

Having already talked about watermelon and it being a fruit high in lycopene (although it’s usefulness to us is questionable ), I just could not resist this . . .
News from the UK about square watermelons – yep you heard it, instead of being the usual spherical shape, these watermelons have clear boxes placed around them while they grow, so they end up as cubes. They were first grown for the Japanese market because they can be cut into strips, rather than crescent shapes and are therefore easier for lunchboxes, plus they’re also be easier for growers and supermarkets to transport and store.
I think they look kinda cute, if somewhat bizarre.
