In 2001, square watermelons sold for ¥10,000 in Japan (about US$83), two to three times the price of regular watermelons
Excuse me what?
Luxury fruit are a thing in Japan
Melons in Japan are way more expensive, but also like, way more flavourful.
These are literally inedible.
That doesn't explain the ~30 dollar cost of a regular watermelon in 2001.
The watermelons are folded over a thousand times.
