Actually, it was developed in Japan, so that it would not waste too much space in narrow Japanese fridges.

It is just a watermelon, like any other, but it has been grown in a mould to shape it into a cube.

Gourd moulds are no new thing; I remember seeing moulds advertised in gardening catalogues when I was a kid in the 1980s that could shape a pumpkin or another squash into a silly face, and this is the same concept. The way it works is that it is a heavy, clear plastic shell that is held together along the edges with screw-on clamps. When the melon (or the squash) is very small, you put it in the opening of the mould, then the fruit grows to the shape of its container.
 
Not to sound like a typical confused American, but why would a square watermelon be so "American"? I didn't know we were prone to turn things into squares here..

:lol: i don't know if it was intentional or not but I love the symbolism in this quote.

anyway that square watermelon looks hideous...truly a monstrosity, looking at it makes me cringe.
 
I am guessing that she thought the idea seemed very American since we are known for inventing very frivilous things for no very good reason other than marketing. See Brittany Spears and Deely-boppers for example.
 
Square vegetables and fruits are forbidden in Europe..or is that only in Holland...I'm confused, but anyway...thank God they are forbidden 'cause this is playing with nature in a very wrong way...horrible..

I don't see what is so horrible--it is not significantly different from creating topiary by clipping hedges into insane shapes.
