  First new flavors out of the gate are durian and Mountain Dew.
Can't be much worse than hazelnut, or vanilla.

Have you ever had a durian? We actually bought one once, at Christmas.

It was... memorable.

Actually yes, I did and think it's a wonderful fruit.

The trick, however, is not to buy one and take it home (or to your hotel room), but to buy a ripe durian at a street vendor and let him open it. Eat straight away and keep a lot of napkins available.

While the taste is really amazing (in my opinion) there's no doubt that the stink is amazing too. And nearly impossible to air out of a closed room.

Most hotels in Singapore flat out forbid durian in your room.
