Only in Japan...

Todays post is about the saying: "only in Japan"
Yes, we all know our Asian island friends sometimes have weird twists in their brains... This "gadget" is just another example of that:
A watermelon cooler...



Yes, I am not kidding you at all... This is a legit product brought to you by Joybond... Why do we need it? Well to keep that huge piece of fruit fresh in the summer I guess... It even has wheels... So you can take your precious green friend along with you wherever you go! Awesome isn't it? It might be... but useful? Please... :p
To finish it of, it is also very expensive IMO, 175.40€ which is about 250$!

Oh and if you really decide to buy one, and you feel like you want to be extra special... Try these special japanese watermelons:
I you do not notice what is so special about these, well they are square... Yep... Square water melons, because I guess ordinary sphere shaped ones just didn't taste as well... Amazing... I actually wonder who came up with this idea... Was there one japanese guy who went like, Jiro-kun, i just love these watermelons, but they look so horribly plain... Let's make them square from now on... 

Really... XD

So let me say it once more: Only in Japan!

    Those square watermelons cost a fortune! Anyone buying those can probably splurge for the watermelon caddy too.

    A watermelon is a random thing to have a cooler made specifically for it.

    The square watermelons remind me of the watermelon blocks in mario sunshine.

    I think the creator if the square watermelons was thinking about Minecraft as he came up with the idea. Japanese people are so crazy.

    That's pretty interesting, though I'm not sure how much of my dignity I would lose to have that thing around.

    that is useful. There is nothing more refreshing than a chill watermelon on a cold summer day.
    although i suppose thats what fridges are for.
