Describe bad smell w/o bias
In the initial description, it said "unique odor". I get that this is an encyclopedia and you need to be un-biased, so you can't outright say it smells disgusting, so I put "oft-disliked", which is accurate and unbiased; many people do not like the smell. It's not saying the smell is in fact bad, it's just saying that a lot of people dislike it
for the record I actually like the smell and enjoy the stuff :-)

Why Durion has thorns?
My understanding of fruits are for reproduction of the trees where they belong.
How do the thorns on the durions help this objective? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.25.197.194 (talk) 16:37, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thorns are to prevent access from squirrels and other animals, especially during maturing stage. Once durians ripe, they fall to the ground and many are cracked open after falling from height of 50m or so. Animals (squirrels included) gain access to the flesh and distribute the mature seeds to germinate elsewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Berdaulat (talk • contribs) 02:16, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Best description of Durian flavour
It really tastes like a mixture of custard and banana. There is no almond flavour at all. The fruit smells disgusting and once you have eaten it, it leaves a bad after taste in your mouth. My after taste thoughts conjure up images of baby feces and loose stools. 117.85.69.79 (talk) 10:48, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, but your personal opinions are not really relevant. Please see WP:OR. --BorgQueen (talk) 11:04, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I, for one, found them most informative. So go choke on a durian, Ms. Borg. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.132.254.140 (talk) 02:03, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
