Yeah, even soldiers and rebels agree here that they are crazy for durian. It worths the risk.:)

I remember an infamous incident where someone died at the durian orchard because the heavy druit fell on his head.

Hah, that's funny. Care to play catch with a durian?
:eyespin:

Durian jam really leaves a great impression. I swear, years ago I was the center of attention in the class when I ate a sandwich with that jam spread on it.

That was the closest thing to bringing a live skunk. :heh:

It made you famous then! Good for you!!:heh:

It is a pretty common tale.

They are just waiting for the first drop : or the golden fruit. My mum used to tell me how they had to send a neighbour's kid to the hospital because he tried to "steal" durians by waiting under the tree at night, and became Isaac Newton. :heh:

Still, it never ceases to amaze me that despite my mum growing up in the 60s and 70s and heard of that tale, people are STILL doing it nowadays. :rolleyes:

For those who love the fruit but hate the smell:
Odourless durians to hit Thai market

^Heresy!
A real Durian lover would stand the smell and not make this odorless abomination!

Love the fruit but hate the smell? Is that possible, if you truly love the fruit?:heh:

Same here :heh:
there's even a saying here that goes "ketiban durian runtuh", roughly translated as "getting a fallen durian". It means getting a great luck out of nowhere.

IIRC, one of the most favorite durian over here is the Mon Thong, from Thailand. Also the expensive one :heh:

I know some people question why durian runtuh instead of kelapa runtuh:heh:

EEW FREAK DURIAN SUCKS D:

Yet it's everywhere in my country... OTL

Can't say that I am a fan. I don't find the smell that bad - I find it mildly unpleasant, but certainly not on the same level as skunk or latrine.

Brace yourselves, I have heard from a trustable durian-seller at the local morning market that the season of the king of fruits hath cometh!

The stronger the smell, the better it is. Just perfect as a 'perfume' for my room.

Durian smells like crap.....yet it's nothing compared to the abomination that is the jack fruit

I feel like vomiting just mentioning the latter in this post...

EDIT: HAHA Someone saw fit to neg me over...fruits?!

What odourless durian??
Durian is not complete if it doesnt have that unique odour...


Ooww, now i am carving for some durian...
But now is not durian season... ;_;

I don't trust odourless durians :X And durians are too sweet for me. I'm not a fan of sweets (unless it's chocolate)

The make great blunt weapons when you're being attacked at a supermarket in the fruits section.

Lol, I like your idea XD

zombie games need to add durians as a temporary melee weapon :heh: (it's a fruit, so the durability is limited) and maybe could double the use as a health recovery item too :D

Plus, only few people can would stand the smell, you could have all of it for yourself... hah!:heh:
