I should have known it was gonna be gross when I started to open the wrapper and the smell smacked me in the face. I thought for sure the the awful taste would go away after a moment or 2 of it being in my mouth, however it DID NOT!!!! To some it all up I think this candy should be used as some sort of weapon and shouldn't even be called nor categorized as candy. To those of you that enjoy the taste of it,I commend u on being able to stomach the awful foul taste and Oder of durian candy!!!

However later that night while he was asleep he burped and it was so bad it woke him up and he puked!

This is a very special fruit in the Philippines! You may try the durian ice cream and durian coffee. It really taste good and it is good for the body. Yes, I agree that the smell is not good but if you get used to it you will soon love it specially the coffee. TRY IT! It's something like don't judge the fruit by its smell..... TASTE IT!

The smell may be overpowering in a hot country but in London it's just fine. I happen to come from middle east where lots of other good fruit grow but none could compete with durian. I think that poor candy was wasted on you... Durian is the most wonderful fruit on this earth. The smell may be overpowering in a hot country but in London it’s just fine.

I bought some from a Chinese shop in downtown toronto. It was presliced into thick chunks (kinda like you would do with watermelon) put on a tray, wrapped in plastic and frozen. Helps with the smell. Anyhoo, I took it home and tried it. GAG. It was like fruit cheese. I put it back in the freezer. Ten minutes later I was tearing the package apart to eat more of that sweet and cheese fruit-cheese. I couldn't believe what I was doing. it was like I was eating from a garbage can but I couldn't stop. Never bought it again since I can't reconcile my love of trash and rot and cheese in fruit form. I still remember it fondly... But, I've eaten pig brains in shabu-shabu, so I'm a glutten. The only other food that has me so enthralled in memory is Japanese sanma (belt-fish?). The fish is completely forgettable. But the guts of the fish are divine. Your lips go numb as if you've just eaten a pound of coke. Great stuff. Durian…
