"“I am born to live wild,” I said as I ripped open the shrink wrap." hahaha I laughed out loud at this!

Durians are also a beloved fruit of Malaysia. The ones from Malaysia are more pungent so when they are in supermarket they are sealed away in a closed frozen section (rather like ice cream) whereas the Thai durians are allowed to lie about freely in open air.

Oh wait, are you telling me that there is a whole class of Durians way more pungent than what I've experienced?!

Hahaha yes you need to level up with Malaysian durians! ;) They have really cool gangster names like Musang King and D24. D24 is my personal fave.
