[QUOTE]Apparently, enjoying a fresh slice of watermelon isn't a strictly American experience; just check out this Japanese-made watermelon cooler. According to Crunch Gear, it also has the ability to warm your melon (for whatever reason), or anything else you put under its plastic dome. For about $230, you can wheel your watermelon right up to the beach and bask in your lack of frugality.
Now, a round cooler isn't such a terrible idea, and the existence of this device makes some sense knowing the high cost of Japanese fruit. Putting a watermelon inside a square cooler wastes space that could be otherwise used for cold beverages. But we have no clue why anybody would want to eat warm watermelon. Even if you are inclined to do so, there's a cheaper alternative fpr warming your watermelon -- the sun.[/QUOTE]
only in japan™
The shit they could actually achieve if they put their minds to studying genetics and the like on a massive scale.
But instead they make portable fridges specifically for fucking melons.

what are you talking about this is groundbreaking
I could use two of these for transporting my massive testicles
I know they kinda mentioned it in the OP, but what's wrong with an esky?
But what about my square watermelons? :frown:

:smithicide:[/QUOTE]It's not like the people who made this would be capable of doing well in genetics. There's no homogeneous pool of talent, from which any profession can be born.
What happened to oldshool cooling bags and ice packs?

How do they pull that off?
My god this idea is fucking genius.

Technology came along.

See those boxes in the background? They put those over the watermelons while they are growing. Well maybe not those exact boxes, but you know what I mean.

Put them in a square box whilst growing, simple.

Each fruit gets put in a small perspex box as it is still growing.
Fucking doubleninja.
I was really hoping for some kind of innuendo...
[QUOTE=Squarebob;23492974]Technology came along.[/QUOTE]
That's pretty much useless technology, as it needs to be charged for the purpose of carrying a single watermelon.
I am allergic to melon but I want one it's got wheels so melon races
If it charges by itself AS you wheel it round... then I would be fucking amazed :v:
I am so buying one.

It's fucking [I]amazing.[/I]
Why yes OP, I have needed to cool my watermelon while I am moving it in the past.
Japan, king of weird shit
That is the cutest fruit transportation device I have ever seen
Dude, this is so cool.
They remind me of those toy lawnmowers that have bouncing balls inside.
Japan has always been weird.

Only yesterday I said to myself, "I should like to purchase that watermelon, but I'd have no way of keeping it cool while traipsing around this desert."
The real credit should go to the inventors, but I direct all my thanks to you, Toxicpiano. Life will never be the same for those who hanker for cold melons on a hot day.
I don't think that would fit for Taiwanese people since their watermelons are like
