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.
You got us, there’s no Eggplant condom! But why no #CondomEmoji? RT if you agree emoji makers should make one! pic.twitter.com/6H6AU6zkJ6

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:
