Money for Melons

I read a news article today that really blew me away. It turns out that the Japanese city Yubari is famous for growing a variety of called Yabari King Melons. The melons are only grown in that city and there is a limited supply.

Typically the melons are sold in pairs that are perfectly matched. Recently, one pair was sold for about $26,000 thousand dollars. I sure hope that melon was good.
