USA: Personal sized watermelons are being market tested
Shippers have recently been test-marketing a new variety of watermelons dubbed “personal-sized” because they are just large enough to serve one or two people. Officials from the California Farm Bureau Federation have revealed that the new melons, which have been on the shelves in various locations, are currently produced in Florida. Similar fruits from the Southern California desert are expected to reach shop selves within the next month, however.
