Durian Candy - Why Does Everyone Hate It So Much?

When you Google "durian candy" the first three links (more actually) will be to negative posts. You'll hear tearms like "stinkbob," and see it on pages of "Bad Candy" or on Top 10 Grossest Candy lists.

What is durian? It's a spiky fruit that is known for it's sweet yet pungent odor.

I'll admit its not a normal candy, but I've had a lot worse. In fact, I like this stuff. It has a nice tropical flavor, I get a lot of coconut. Its not overly sweet, and the pieces I've had have the consistency of a Starburst.

Are there any people out there who like durian candy? Or is it truly a hated candy? Let me know.

It's not on our top 10 grossest candy list. Our list is candies that are gross in concept, not taste :)

I think I would like it. Maybe I should start combing Oakland's Chinatown for durian candy! (I see durian itself all the time but I haven't been brave enough to try it yet.)

I love durian candy! Durian is so good and I think it smells good. Maybe it's just me and my family, but I can't see why people hate it so much as well.

I like the taste of durian but not the texture.
I love the durian candy and buy some every week.
