I went through my memory card this weekend and found some pictures from my sister's trip to Japan this summer. (She stayed with a host family in ひろしま for six weeks and took something of a ski lift to school everyday because her host family lived up in the mountain region .. sigh. still envious.)
Anyway, here's a picture from her travels that I stumbled across ..

This genetically-engineered cubed watermelon runs for about 18900 yen or roughly にひゃくじゅうドラ ($210). THAT IS SOME CRAZY.

Genetically engineered? That's super crazy! Wait wait! You could make your own. Just put a square case around the watermelon while it's growing.
