"Durian. That big, hulking thorny beast, with an aroma so strong it’ll knock your grandma to her feet. Native to Malaysia and Indonesia, it’s a divisive figure in the world of food. Banned on Singapore subways for its smell (potent even when the husk is intact), it’s the Kanye West of fruits: you either hate it, or you love it. Intensely."

In this YouTube video, a guy eats durian for the first time. He and I had the same reaction.
The house rules from the condo I rented stated, "No durian in the apartment." Now, I understand why.
