Grow your brain at 3rd Ward
With 3rd Ward's Education Program, Even You Can Invent the Square Watermelon.
A round watermelon can take up a lot of room in a refrigerator and often sits awkwardly on refrigerator shelves.
So smart Japanese Farmers have forced their watermelons to grow into a square shape! They insert the melons into square, tempered glass cases while the fruit is still growing on the vine.
Don't waste time, the pineapple's still round, sign up for one of our many classes here!
