Suicide by Durian and Whiskey

There is a widely held belief in Singapore that mixing durian (fruit) and alcohol will kill you. Tony and I set out to disprove that belief in this video. Shot on Friday October 13, 2006 (not intentional) and uploaded in January 2008, I won't spoil it for you by saying if we survived or not.

I have tried durian with beer and with stout. I just didn't think to film them at the time. :-) In fact we had beer before we made the durian and whiskey video. It's partly why we were brave enough to try.

I've eaten durian and drank on several occasions. Never have I felt ill from it.

Because durian generate heat like fire and the alcohol is act like fuel so

Fire + Fuel = BIG FIRE mean body overheat

If you have strong body, you resist, if not better sleep in wad or KO.

It is not wise to consume alcoholics and very sweet durian too often ! It is a quick route to being a diabetic ! Ask any science student about fermentation !

hmm... i guess i've got to try to post something more daring... ah ha replacing durian with my soccer ball...

i like the part that you actually pour the whiskey onto the durian.

As far as I know from my Chinese culture, Durian, Whisky and Lamb Meat are food that would boost up your energy ( or hormone, may be). So if you have a strong body, and can stand all these things at the same time. Then it may mean you are strong as a cow. But I would not recommend to eat all 3 things together, because some one else may feel sick.

try durian and beer.

[edzzzzzzzzzz]

you forgot one more component to make this myth more plausible - lamb meat, try all those mixed together .. whiskey, durian, and lamb satay

Good luck
