Help!

[Jenny]

Okay, seriously, this question has been bothering me and my friend for about a week and everyone we ask doesn't know...
you know that fruit that's green and has light green stripes on it, like a watermelon, but it's the size of a cantalope? and it's round? and the "meat" inside is pink, i think?
is this just a kind of watermelon? or is it a different fruit entirely?
someone must know.
please.  :-/

what does that mean?!
is it a watermelon?
WHY ARE THEY SQUARE?
WHY IS IT TINY AND ROUND?!?!

[Dorothy_Mantooth]

they grow them in boxes for the hell of it. isn't that right? did this start as an asian thang? did i read that japan started doing this to make it easier to pack them? so many questions.

but yeah, i'm sure they're watermelons with altered shapes.

[mjkoehler]

Dis it? If so, it is a Melitopolski Watermelon.

[mjkoehler]

You can grow any melon in a square or any other shape. Seen pumpkins and Watermelons grown into various shapes at Epcot.

all those rapid responses were helpful, but pretty anticlimactic. i wanted something life changing.

Stupid watermelon.

anyway, thanks guys. i can rest easy now.

I googled this and couldn't find anything.  I only eat things out of a box.  I am lame.

I LOVE EPCOT. even though it's a little boring.

hahahhahaha

they're called tangellios, very toxic, be careful while handling.

I LOVE EPCOT. even though it's a little boring.

I go for the food and booze. The booze makes the boat ride through the green houses and how the food grows thing much more interesting.

I've mentioned this before, but EPCOT is the best place on Earth to be with strong chemical enhancers - not that I endorse that type of behavior.  It simply can't go wrong:  The future is going to be great, the future is going to be clean, you can experience the whole world in the course of an afternoon in the future, you can't get lost in the future, you will be monitored in the future, evryone works for the central government in the future, DON'T STEP OUT OF LINE IN THE FUTURE, THERE IS A JAIL UNDER DISNEY WORLD IN THE FUTURE, DON'T MAKE MICKEY MAD!, MOMMMMMMMYYYYYY.

Did you know that what we Americans call a cantelope is not a cantelope, but rather a musk mellon.  A real cantelope has green skin similar to a watermelon.  (Source:  Alton Brown).

Am I the only one that thinks that sounds dirty ;).

Now that you mention it, that may be dirtier then June Clever telling her hubby, "Ward I think you were a little hard on the Beaver last night."

Soup- Can't speak from personal experience on chemicals, other then drinking around the world a few too many times last year. Does that count? I had a new perspective on the place. Slighty randier perspective. Alcohol + warm weather - clothing + lots of MILFS + lots of 18+ YO coeds = Happy Times!

That is the "I've grown up and they've made me stop taking drugs" perspective on EPCOT.  It's the one Disney park that offers booze and booze is yummy.  Now getting your kids to agree with EPCOT over the Magic Kingdom....

i have a love/hate relationship with alton brown

i went to epcot when i was 10 and because of that, i assumed that canada was solely made of rock and was also highly air conditioned. i also assumed that Norway must still have amazing viking boat sieges. little did i know.

I love Good Eats and his cookbook rocks, but his know-everything attitude can be a bit much to take.  And those man boobs in Feasting on Asphalt!  Wow!  Now I love a good man boob, but a manzier or a bro may be in order.

Canada is made of nothing but rock and highly air conditioned.  I've been there, ask Jaimoe.  The movie thearters there surround you and will freak your shit out.

Are there no vikings in Norway?  What happened to them?

[mjkoehler]

Actually my son likes Epcot over Magic Kingdom. He's "strange". Yes booze is yummy.

Alton was sportin some serious moobs on Feasting On Asphalt. I'm actually looking at the companion book to season 2. I love that he loves St Louis for donuts. The places he went to are really good.

SQUARE WATERMELON?!?!   :-?
