This is not a giant genetically mutated watermelon, it’s a gas tank.
In Japan, gas company decided to spice up their gas tanks into something more colourful, for instance, chickens. (It is actually call Tokkikki, the mascots of Niigata prefectural). I really enjoy looking at these gas tanks. These gas companies are spendingextra money to decorate their gas tanks to make them look friendly. In a way it's promoting their company (and in attempt to beautify the usage of gas), but it does make the environment looks better and friendlier.I think these decorated gas tanks is a fun and cute idea and I'd love to see them outside of Japan. Imagin driving down the 401 and see a giant soccer ball. Priceless.
