Square watermelon tastes terrible. Why is it so expensive?

In our ordinary people's consciousness, watermelons are basically round. Few people have seen other shapes of watermelons, such as square watermelons or heart-shaped watermelons. In fact, watermelons mainly from Japan are basically square. When it was put on the market, it attracted many customers because of its special shape. ?

However, no matter what shape of watermelon we buy, our main purpose is to use it, but the taste of this kind of watermelon is not good compared with ordinary watermelon, but the price is far higher than ordinary watermelon. Why on earth is this? ? First of all, this kind of watermelon attracts people's attention with its unique shape, so there are marketing hype factors in it, and now the network is developed, and some people may buy this kind of watermelon in pursuit of freshness. Therefore, merchants have grasped the psychology of consumers and made hype through new watermelons.

Of course, compared with ordinary watermelons, the cost of this kind of watermelons is relatively high. We only need to grow ordinary watermelons, but such watermelons change the growth law of normal watermelons. Therefore, in the production process, we should add some artificial factors, that is, put a certain fixed mold on the watermelon, but if you put the watermelon in a plastic mold, it will not be easy to fix it. So some watermelons need to be put in iron cages, which will increase to a certain extent. Therefore, this kind of watermelon is naturally more expensive than ordinary watermelon after it is put on the market.

Of course, the most important reason why square watermelon is expensive is that it is produced in Japan, because Japan itself belongs to an island country with a small cultivated area. Fruits like this are just like luxury goods, so the price of watermelon in Japan is very high. Moreover, the main reason for producing watermelon in Japan is to facilitate transportation. This kind of watermelon won't break as easily as round watermelon.
