In my opinion the environmental impact of square watermelons is alarming. Due to the unnatural manufacturing of these watermelons, it goes against Japan's eco-friendly aspirations. In addition, its high price tag of more than 100 US dollars exacerbates the socio-economic divide, as its high price makes this luxury watermelon inaccessible to the majority of people. Although innovative, this square watermelon sacrifices its culinary value. Its unnatural shape affects the fruit's natural sweetness and texture, making it taste and texture less than traditionally grown watermelons. With a very high price and lack of flavor, this watermelon is not worth it.

In the end, traditionally grown watermelons are superior in flavor and texture and have a more affordable price that can be consumed by everyone while boxed watermelons are superior in shape and expensive that can only be consumed by a few.
