Square fruit and vegetables - a reality today

The United Arabian Emirates have started production of
square melons, tomatoes and cucumbers in order to gain
a more effective use of the space in refrigerators.
The national news agency WAM reports that the
experiments so far have been 100% successful.

So far the focus has been on growing square fruit and
vegetables, but now the experiments will be expanded
to other vegetables such as squash and paprika. They
will be conic shaped, an ombudsman in the forrest
department of Abu Dhabi says to the news agency WAM.

So maybe square-eggs (or are they called "cubic-eggs"
in the US-originals of "Lost in the Andes" and "Return
to Plain-Awful"? someday can be a reality after all...
though without square-hens and chickens.

Anyway if it's true that a guy once was denied patent
on the idea to lift ships from the bottom of the sea
by using ping-pong balls, I suppose nobody can have
patent on square eggs either, since Barks came up with
that idea around 50 years ago?

Sigvald :-)
