Don't durian and drive!!!
Don't durian and drive!!!
A man in China has failed an on-the-spot breathalyser test after eating too much durian fruit.
According to Chinese video website Pear Video, an unnamed man in Rudong county, in the eastern province of Jiangsu, was pulled over by the police on 17 April for suspected drink-driving.
He failed his breathalyser test, but was filmed by police protesting: "I've just eaten durian fruit!"
A follow-up blood test proved that there was no alcohol in his system, putting the man in the clear.
But it also prompted local police to subsequently carry out tests themselves, to check the legitimacy of the man's claims
A big stink
In a 29 April investigation, Pear Video showed a police officer being breathalysed after eating some of the stinky fruit, and confirmed that his alcohol level directly after eating durian was 36mg per 100ml.
The legal limit for blood alcohol concentration in China is 0.02% - roughly 20mg per 100ml.

#sigh# ... those long lost cheap days of yore before the teeming Chinese masses discovered durian, chocolate and Pattaya.
