Did you know if you put a growing watermelon in a square container it will grow square.

No, I didn't. Are there any advantages to a square melon??

Square watermelons won't roll. I would sometimes consider that an advantage.

Now there's a thought. I once cut the stem on my best pumpkin only to see it bump down the hill and...splat...right onto the street.

Cut cut little squares instead of using a melon baller. I slice wouldn't roll off your plate, either.

A square pumpkin might be fun for Halloween.

I love that! Easy to cut into cubes instead of having to use one of those melon baller things.....

Now that's a fun fact! Darn - I grew watermelons in my old garden - the small ones - wish I could try this now!!! Would make it easier to carve watermelon fruit bowls, too.

Now that is cool...think of all the other possibilites for square/rectangular..like cucumbers, squash....

Fruit bowl with a lid...they would look like a watermelon cookie jar!

LOL! I like that - watermelon cookie jar. I can see the sense in creating "stackable" melons, but it kind of takes the fun out of finding the one with the most character when they all look alike.

If a mathematician did it, it could have square roots.
