Korean strawberries are sold in the local markets already so I'm wondering how long it will be before these find their way onto supermarket shelves in my country. It's not clear whether a Korean or an Australian first developed heart-shaped strawberries, like the Japanese who pioneered cube-shaped watermelons but I bet the strawberries are more likely to sell better than the watermelons - they're cuter, have more commercial appeal and easier to transport and kinder on the postman who'd have to deliver these to scores of delighted girlfriends around the world.
