Hmmm..... I "smell" another Ripimoff Industries marketing opportunity.

"BOX 'O DURIAN. "So tasty, you puke BEFORE you drink". "Quickly make room for more Durian"! "Always in good taste". Hotel approved package design. Look for box with smiling Buddah holding nose.

If it smells that bad before you eat it, just think of the possibilities if you ferment it, and make some headjuice from it!

We could use Ron's marketing wing, Ripimoff Inc, to sell it on the Clear Conscience basis;

"Don't feel bad about getting plastered and hurling chunks; with Durian XXX, everybody hurls "

We could get REM to endorse. they have a song that fits....
