There are some who bury the rich story of worker rights movements in the United States that led to the most everyone claim Monday off work . But there are few who fuddle Labor Day with April Fool ’s Day like Durex just did . Or , at least , the safety heavyweight decided to give a petty more of the latter feel to the former .
Monday , they tweeted out the launching of a new lineage of eggplant - flavored condoms . Yup . Yuck , maybe . It ’s operose to call back what an mad apple tastes like when it ’s not grill . Is it like a courgette ? What does a zucchini taste like ? Rubber ? Is this a prophylactic flavored safety ?
It ’s actually a joke . But it does make you realize that we do n’t have artificially flavored eggplant foodstuff . What would this taste like ? What does an hokey eggplant predilection like ? !

There seems to be a intellect behind the jape besides marketing , even though marketing is in all probability the primary reason . The eggplant - flavored condoms , inspired by the inappropriately used eggplant emoji , are somewhat uproarious , are Durex ’s endeavor to talk about how we talk about good sex . " Durex bed there is no place for an aubergine when it come to secure sex activity , " a interpreter told theMirror . " It ’s just as questionable , in fact , as a conclusion not to enter a Safe Sex Emoji to endue young people to speak about sexual practice , safely , in a language they are comfortable with . "
It ’s not a spoiled spot , even if there is a petty ego - interestingness at play . secure sex is an of import matter and emojis are a language used by one thousand thousand . Why not check that that the linguistic process is equipped to spill the beans about important issues ?
While it was all an skilful trolling by Durex , it in spades had many people going . It spawn a series of tweets that dovetail frightfully nicely with the curmudgeon - y hashtag takeover of#HowtoConfuseaMillennialover the weekend .
So , none of it is real , but maybe they should consider looking into eggplant - flavored condoms . They ’d go perfectly with thatthe Emojibator– an eggplant emoji - shaped vibrator — that was just release . It ’s just one idea .
