Plump, succulent melon
A 18-lb watermelon was recently sold for $2600 at a Japanese auction. The fruit is an unusual black-skinned variety called "Densuke" and is a delicacy grown in the village of Toma in northern Japan. It comes in a specially decorated box and is probably delivered by armored cars. And it'd better be seedless.

Now that's an expensive melon. Two might cost, like, $5200. Maybe Anna Nicole would have been better off with those . . .
