Daily Drop: Durian

[Disaster Button]

I thought it was a another Koosh.

 

[AngryPeanut]

Bwah! That thing looked like it was filled with raw chicken or something!

 

[SomeLameStuff]

Just be glad that it hit on the ground and not on a person head (it look dangerous with those spikes).

Actually, the durian is well known for NOT dropping from people's heads (unless someone drops them on purpose of course). It can drop a few seconds after you move away, but for some reason there doesn't seem to be many head splitting accidents. [sub]Durian trees are psychic![/sub]

 

[Skobvs]

Not my precious durian! (I really like the stuff)

I love durian and I think it's delicious and smells great. Must be an Asian thing. :[

It does appear to be an Asian thing. What a waste...

Well, im black and i like them.....
I think its just an intelligent thing. That only smart people can enjoy them.

I miss durian.......best ones from malaysia, D24 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

And theres a myth about durians having eyes. So they drop on thieves trying to steal crops(ripe durians drop naturally, not picked)

I clicked this wondering what a durian was. Having watched the video I'm going to have to go with "one of those" although that still doesn't really answer my question.

When I saw the preview yesterday I though it was a giant kooshball. Clearly I was wrong.

"has been described variously as almonds, rotten onions, turpentine and gym socks" (Wikipedia)

Huh...

 

[Wandrecanada]

That's probably the first time I have been slightly disgusted by a Daily Drop. Upon first coming apart it looked vaguely like some kind of animal vivisection. Thankfully we have gourds to look forward to!

 

[seekeroftruth86]

That's a bit disappointing. I was expecting a more spectacular burst.

Anyways, Durian tastes and smells like rotten chicken salad.

Blargh.

 

[Mycreativename]

Ummmmmmmm. Whats a Durian?

it's a fruit that tastes not bad but smells like pot on burnt hair

 

[Versago]

Awesome

Although, what the BUS is a Durian?

I'm also Asian but I can't stand the smell of durian and I can barely tolerate eating it. Not even in gelato form, which I have to wonder they kept their store from smelling awful when making it (the place I go do makes everything in-house).

 

[Death God]

I thought it was a porcupine!But now that I see it is not, what in the world is that fruit?

 

[Charli]

Oh lord Durian REEKS. You brave brave soul.

Edit: Guys it's a fruit, grows on alot of trees in south east Asia, it's also famous for smelling like a barnyard next to a sewage factory. Yet for those brave enough it tastes okay enough.

But frankly it is not worth it for that hideous smell. In Singapore they find it amusing watching you try it. It's a past time 'watch the foreigner taste Durian'

"Widely known and revered in southeast Asia as the 'king of fruits'(...)" huh

Would light bulbs be fun? They sorta pop, don't they? I'd like to see it.

 

[daedrick]

If I was an extraterrest alien thing, and some human tossed me a ''durian'' I would say; Hey, I used to eat something very similar back on my planet, thank you human.

 

[Pariah164]

OMG. Durian. Tastes like vomit, smells even worse. I shudder at the memory.
