Durian fruit
Prohibited in: Singapore
Justification: The smell
The durian fruit can be found on most Southeast Asian islands. It is said that the fruit has the creamy texture of a cheesecake but the taste of a sweet pudding. Some durian fruits may be a little bitter, but there is no reason to ban them in Singapore. Or is there? The answer is no: No. The taste of durian has nothing to do with the reason for the ban. On the other hand, most people find the smell repulsive. To prevent smelly fruit from being consumed in public, Singapore has decided to ban it completely.
