Photos of Chinese kids dressed in watermelons go viral

On Weibo, China’s microblogging service, many photos are making the rounds online, showing kids dressed in sections of hollowed-out watermelons.

The melon-children meme supposedly began circulating in July, when one particular kid dressed in watermelon overalls showed up on the streets of Wenzhou, a city in Zhejiang province, as NPR writes.

China has seen variations on the watermelon suit, such as watermelon bikinis, hula skirt inspired melon outfits, and watermelon armour, Kotaku reports.

A tour through Weibo also turns up older kids making masks out of watermelon skin.

“Online in China, many people seem delighted by the watermelon suits, calling them both ‘creative’ and ‘eco-friendly,'” Kotaku adds.
