hmm, kind of grotesque if you ask me...

Workers ready the season's first shipment of cubed watermelons Thursday at a farm co-op here. Demand for the cubic fruit is high despite the 13,000 yen price tag, but they're usually used only for display since they aren't considered tasty. (The Japan Times)

What the heck??? More than 100 dollars a pop and they do not even taste that good? Forget about it, I am putting my money somewhere else! Are you a big watermelon eater? I absolutely love them - as a child I could eat a whole watermelon (one of those big ones) by myself. Do you spit out the seeds or swallow them? I used to spit them out but now I just gulp it all down...yum!
