Densuke Watermelons

According to the AP, "a jumbo black watermelon auctioned in Japan  fetched a record $6,100, making it one of the most expensive watermelons ever sold in the country."
Apparently in Japan, melons are a luxury item often given as gifts. The black Densuke watermelon is grown exclusively on Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido, and this particular one weighed 17 pounds.

  I was in awe when I read this news .
