It is interesting while traveling around to see what else appears on local McD's menu.  In HI they have ramen noodles and in Belgium they have beer!  Durian McFlurry, I bet it sells well there and probably would do pretty good in a few markets here.

It should work well in some areas of SoCal since the asian stores already carry the ever popular durian flavor ice cream.

that says something about the way his taste buds are attuned! To not cringe at eating testicles, and then spits out durian! Maybe it was an unripe or over ripe durian, I cannot understand someone not liking a ripe durian. it baffles me...doesnt compute lol

That doesn't surprise me. They do regional twists like that. I went to a McDonald's on the Oahu and they served Spam and pineapples on their menu.

Its funny the headline reads "the smelliest item on the menu" as if the regular items are not pure garbage..

What's even funnier is that they pretend gourmet chefs would want to eat at McDonalds! Maybe they should have Zimmern go to McDonalds and see if he likes the McFlurry better than testicles? HAHA

I have to leave the room when a durian gets opened.
