Warmer countries. E.g. in Italy the common water melons are at least half a meter long.

Sitting even further north than Denmark, the OP did say that their melons are imported. Although it's possible to grow them in Denmark (especially in a greenhouse) perhaps it's not commercially viable.

Regardless, I guess the OP just needs to find a better grocer, local "fruit mongers" up here in frigid Sweden certainly routinely handle watermelons that are way bigger than 3 kg. :)

The same in Portugal. Ours can be very big.

I guess we can conclude a watermelon is a really bad weight reference unit!

Is there anything "units" can't convert?
