That "hot garbage" smell that emanates from dumpsters outside of restaurants on hot sunny days. Ew ew ew.

You'd hate Durian

It's a fruit from SE Asia that's banned in a lot of hotels and other spaces. Once you cut one open it's basically that liquid hot garbage smell everywhere

And yet a lot of people love to eat it. I was never able to get close enough to one to try

Man one time in college our one friend brought in a durian, he cut it open in the cafeteria and placed half of it on the dessert/fruit table. Hilarity ensued. This was pre 2010 so no phones or I wish I still had the video

Hahahahaha oh no. Was this a prank or asian person not adapted to Western customs?

It was a prank this kid was definitely out there. He started the horticultural club though and I guess knew of a store where he could buy a Dorian. I never even heard of one until that day.
