Durex is Making the Eggplant Flavored Condoms No One Asked For

Durex Tweeted this morning that they’ve created the eggplant flavored condoms that literally no one ever wanted.

We’re not sure if these are real. It seems hard to believe, but so far the company hasn’t come out to say that it’s a joke or a hack. If it is real, why?

The Twitterverse has done about as good a job with this as you might expect:

Durex: we’ve finally done it! eggplant flavored condoms! ???

Some users were concerned with what preparation of eggplant the flavor was derived from:

@samsanders @durex so like raw #Eggplant or baked or grilled?… ?

We’ve never really felt the need to taste eggplant other than when we’re eating…eggplant. We have to say though, this might be a better idea than the pumpkin spice flavor rumor of 2014.
