Who cares if it fits better in the fridge or is easier to cut if

The cube shape of the watermelon can only be achieved at the expense of its contents. To retain the proper shape, cube melons must be harvested before they are ripe, rendering them inedible

Status symbols like this are just so absurd.

The only thing they can do - show them off then throw them away.
