Durex Trolls Everyone With Eggplant-Flavored Condoms Nobody Asked For

Durex’s condom-game is pretty strong, but their trolling-game is probably stronger as they tweeted out that their newest flavored condom would taste like an eggplant.

If you happen to be a human being, you’re probably familiar with the eggplant emoji as the universal euphemism for any phallic-based message conversation, so the fact that it would even be considered for a condom flavor, is both comical and revolting.

Turns out, even though they presented the tweet as ” breaking news,” it was just a clever PR stunt, as it looks like Durex is trying to promote the development of a condom emoji.

Pretty solid strategy on their part, as Taco Bell pushed a similar social media campaign, helping the taco emoji become a real, beautiful thing that we can all use on our phones now.

It’s a good thing that it was all a ruse, because egg plant-flavored condoms sound like the worst, and the Twitterverse agreed:
