But it eliminates the roll and comes with a convenient carry handle on top...Square shape allows for more even packing and cost effective transportation and distribution.
Maybe Obama should take the industry over..looks like a great business model that actually makes money. Unions can come later and ruin it.

And how do seedless watermellon reproduce?
Isn't that the point of the seeds.

From ask.yahoo.com/20010611.htmlWatermelon breeders discovered that crossing a diploid plant (bearing the standard two sets of chromosomes) with a tetraploid plant (having four sets of chromosomes) results in a fruit that produces a triploid seed. (Yes, it has three sets of chromosomes). This seed grows fruit that rarely develops seeds, although you may find some empty white seed coats. The melon's flesh is firmer because the usual softening of the fruit around the seeds does not occur. Triploid varieties are more difficult to grow than their seedier cousins but it can be done. Your best bet is to germinate these pricey seeds indoors at an optimal 85� F, and plant them outdoors after soil temperatures have warmed to at least 70� F. It's easier to buy melon transplants and set them out when temperatures are in the 80s. Because seedless melons are sterile and produce little pollen, you'll need to also plant a normal pollinator variety of watermelon in the patch so the bees can pollinate the flowers, contributing to the development of flavorful, well-formed fruit.
