It is forbidden to have durian on your person on board an Air New Zealand flight.
It is also forbidden to have durian in your carry-on luggage.
Furthermore, it is forbidden to have durian in your checked luggage.
Durian "does not travel well" - and neither, I suspect, do those in its vicinity.

Unstoppable Trolley

The Trolley of Tasty Treats

You're on a trolley, heading towards a fork in the track. On one path, there's a giant vat of the world's most delicious ice cream, enough to make everyone happy and give them brain freeze. On the other path, there's a huge pile of stinky, rotten durians that will make everyone nauseous and possibly cause mutant powers to manifest.

You have the power to pull a lever and choose which path the trolley takes. Do you:

A) Pull the lever towards the ice cream, knowing everyone will be overjoyed and likely become overweight?

B) Let the trolley continue on its current path towards the durians, accepting that everyone will be miserable but potentially gain super stinky powers?

What will it be, ice cream bliss or durian superpowers? The fate of the trolley's passengers hangs in the balance.

Went to Costco today and saw that they had some packaged pressed durian in the snack section. Picked one up and just tried it.

It has the texture of a really soft licorice rope, it's dark brown in color and tastes like cooked, smashed durian. The thing really loves to stick to teeth though.

Score: 6/10 :durian:

A couple three decades ago, I got a durian shake at a chinese restaurant and shared it with my friend. They brought it out in a styrofoam cup with a lid and straw, to limit the spread of the smell.

We'd take turns taking slurps, trying to be open-minded really give it an enthusiastic try, smiling optimistically, then grimacing involuntarily.

To me, the smell was like rotting onions and ripe diapers.

Hours later, each time I burped I would almost burst into tears.

The “King of Fruit” rules over coffee. It’s not a poison like coffee & it’s also my favourite fruit. I was lucky to visit & live in South East Asia in the past, before I pledged to go #FlightFree for #ClimateChange reasons, & enjoyed lots of #Durian feasts in #Singapore & #Malaysia. It’s good for you & only has a bad smell in some caucasian minds. I’m drooling at the thought of sitting eating durians outside a stall in Geylang.
