In Japan, watermelons have become a luxury food that apparently now requires a carry-on luggage-like cooler/warmer, a world’s first.
First came the square watermelon creation that was introduced to the global market with the hefty price tag of $75 (€56.41) for 6.8kg. In Japan the same square watermelon can cost ¥10,000 yen (€90).
The Japanese site Joybond.co.jp sells the single round watermelon on-the-go cooling or warming device for Â¥19,950 (€179) referred to as “ã¾ã‚‹ã”ã¨ã€€ãŸã¾ã¡ã‚ƒã‚“”.
To fully understand how it works, you need to be able to translate the Japanese site better than Google translate, but it appears to have these features:
– AC / DC power cord
– 35.4cm × vertical side height 50.2cm × 39.2cm, handle: up to 54cm
– made of ABS resin
– 6.3kg
– 14L capacity
– cold-warm-cold three-wheel casters
– 1/AC100V (with adapter)
– 40 ~ 65W
– one-year warranty
