Water melons in various shapes were put on shelves in a supermarket in Jiangsu province on May 23, 2015. (Photo source: weibo.com)
The melons don’t grow in the special shapes naturally, but are turned into specific shape in moulds when the fruit start to grow ten days after blooming stage. It takes two weeks to fall into the pattern and another ten days to grow without moulds before putting on sale.
