    Apparently you're only 14, or maybe younger, to have posted that. Ironic isn't it?
    Next we'll have "wtf is a spinach?"

    I'm sort of neutral on durians, I don't dislike it, but I can survive without eating one.

    Ahh... I see those at my local super market. Smells everytime I walk past that section. Never tried it though, 'cause I never try picking it up. Too painful. :rolleyes:

    Yeah you should have included a "I've never tried one" option...a local store here sells them but i have no idea how you'd eat it.

    Is that... oh, no, nevermind, I thought they were lulos going by a different name. Seen them before in South America (they have like quadruple the fruits we have here), but never tried 'em.

    I only like it if it's baked in a cake -- Durian cake.

    Hahah, I never saw this until today! I voted late on this one saying they are FANTASTIC. I've never had one mind you. But given how much fun they look .... how could I not vote it as aces?

    ASIAN PEOPLE FTW!!! I LOVEZ ME SOME DURIAN :D

    Durian is a sort of fruit that smells like car tire :|... No pun intended.

    Yes it is a good fruit though, it has a sort of skin-like texture on the outside of it, and a huge freaken seed in the inside, it's like a mango texture but it's more sugary than fruity.

    BTW, to eat a durian, you need to get a chopping knife and cut it open section by section.

    i love the smell, they taste ok, not crazy delicious. I know alot of ppl hate it tho, and if you think durian stinks, wait till you smell the chinese stinky tofu. I know some ppl addicted to that snack, but to me they smells like shit( literaturely)

    We used to get them pretty regularly when my wife and I lived in Borneo. I liked them well enough, but wasn't crazy about them. They definitely went well with an Anchor or a Tiger.
