That was a can of Kilkenny manufactured in Singapore... completely different from an on tap glass from a keg imported from the hinterlands.Wd40 wrote:I tried Kilkenny once. Didnt like the taste at all and to make things worse, the 500ml can actually has only 400ml in it and they have filled that 100ml space with a white plastic ball

I reckon Coke Zero is as close as they've ever managed to get to a sugarfree Coke to come to the original Coke, which, by the way, doesn't taste anything like the original Cokes in the 6.5 Oz green glass bottles with the name of the bottling plant location on the bottom of the bottles. (course that's going back a few years - 2 cent deposit returned when you brought the bottles back). They were my morning shot of coffee when I was in my 20's!

Why is it so hard to find Diet Coke / Caffeine Free Diet Coke / Diet Pepsi, etc. here?? It seems like the only diet soft drinks are Coke Zero! I rarely drink soda, but sometimes a Caffeine Free Diet Coke seems like nectar of the gods!
Rhetorical question....Given the amount of lard consumed here via hawker food and the like, I'm sure there's no real call for sugar free drinks....

Why not just save one of the husks/shells? Gargle with water using one of those as a bowl. Must be some chemical in the husk that counteracts the smell (didn't bother researching it).v4jr4 wrote:Sometimes, I stick with 100-Plus, especially after durian party. Reason being? My aunt suggests to drink it to counter the durian effect (I don't think it will help)

Why can't you drink beer after a durian treat?
Not that I will like it. I'm one of the 90% of the people who doesn't like durian's smell and taste...but some of my friends say, if you do that, you'll burst, or something?
Kinda like the Diet Coke + Mentos story...anybody can confirm and explain that?

My thread...The Weekenders If you need my e-mail address, it's in the first post of the thread.
Can confirm that durian + beer does not work. Much the same as egg + beer does not work. Try it ..... if you want to be sick!
PS. I love durian. Always have. Since I first smelt it when I was in my 20s. I do not think it is an 'aquired' taste like say wine. I think just you like it or you don't. Any nothing will change it. I also think that a lot of westerners (and locals who want to be westerners) turn up their nose... just for the sake of it!

TLDR version: the sulfur in durian inhibits the body's ability to neutralize the toxic byproducts of metabolizing alcohol.
