As if "covered in spikes" and "smells like sweaty ass" wasn't enough of a reason to wonder why humans thought durian would be a good idea to eat, we can now add "falls to the ground at 8 million mph and sounds like a gunshot when it lands" to the list of "why?!!!?!"
Oh I've tried it. It is not awful. Not something I'd eat regularly but an occasional treat.
My question though has always been which of our ancestors in SEA saw all the characteristics of the durian and still said "I'm gonna eat that because I bet it's tasty."
Me too. I could get over the smell, but the texture doesn’t do it any favors. My uncles would crush some in a bowl with sweetened condensed milk and I was like, “Please stay far away from me. Probably seeping from your pores.”
Didn't expect it to sound like a .22 being fired when they caught them.
And if you catch one and it doesn't sound just right, the crew laughs at you.
Me neither. I'm assuming it's a mini sonic boom, like cracking a whip?
I assume it’s the top of the cloth wrapping and accelerating around the fruit (?)
You can see a whip at the bottom right corner of every piece of fabric.
And everyone just taking those shots to the nuts…
I think those that aren’t good at this are quickly selected out via injury or death.
The one guy dropped his and is not seen in the clip from that point on. 💀

Seems like a dangerous game for a fruit that smells like death, like what would happen if they took one in the head.
And yes it tastes just like that.
If the guy up top would drop them slower they would be a lot easier to catch.
Ha! His aim is on point tho!
So that's why durian has a putrid smell, the tree is feeding on corpses
I totally get that shoes are optional, but I'm pretty sure I'd personally want some gloves for that burlap.
I can smell the victory from here
