Durian is a fairly disgusting fruit from East/South-East Asia. I've had it in Indonesia (and I have a photo to prove it!) - it's incredibly smelly. The taste is actually okay, but the aftertaste really is the killer!
that was a billboard in Phnom Penh. I never knew what 'expose yourself outdoor' really referred to.
Anyways. So someone in Indonesia thought it was an interesting flavour enough to create.. a durian-flavoured condom. We found those in Jakarta (Depok, to be precise) - not far from the University of Indonesia..
I never dared to open one.

Kinky.

Outstanding. Perhaps not entirely inappropriate, though, considering that in some languages in that region (I don't know about Bahasa Indonesia) "open the durian" is slang for "lose virginity"...
Interesting that the brand name is the Spanish word for "party."

Open the durian means to lose one's virginity?
*insert incredibly inappropriate comment about reproductive organs and smell here*
Well, I guess a fiesta is a fiesta in any language. :)
How could you get close enough to taste?!
They don't smell until they're cut open, btw. They lure you with their harmless armadillo look until you're tempted to see the inside, and then... Bam.
Well, if you're J (from the comment above) you actually LIKE them :) but for the casual consumer, well, you're either trying it for kicks, or someone offers you some and you can't really turn it down. :)
I guess writing any comment here will compromise my credibility so I will say it anyway: Interesting!
I expect an entire product line of exotic fruit condoms soon.
"Interesting" is a wise choice of words, my friend.

My beautiful friend, so good to hear from you!
Well yes, I actually took that condom photo yesterday, I still have it!
Okay, so that's got to be one of the strangest slang expressions ever. :) I'll try to keep it out of my mind next time I'm having some durian!! :)
The question is, does the condom have a foul odor like an actual durian fruit? Ew.
I didn't dare open the condom, Ahab. I'll send you the condom and you can try it yourself, if you promise to film the entire process.
