Did you know…
… a single watermelon sold for $6,125 USD?
In 2008, a man in Japan bought a 7.7 kg (17 lb) Densuke watermelon at auction for 650,000 yen or $6,125.
This special kind of watermelon is only grown on the island of Hokkaido and has a different kind of sweetness than the watermelon we are used to eating. They are difficult to grow and do not produce a high yield which is why the melons are sold at auction every year.
