Also known as "the king of fruits," durians are a highly desirable but very smelly fruit native to Southeast Asia, mainly Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

Fortunately, some Westerners can try this delicious delicacy at Costco by purchasing the fresh fruit itself or as an ice cream treat.

The fruit isn't listed on Costco's website, but some Reddit users have found fresh, whole durian at Costcos in California, specifically in San Jose and Fremont.

The spiky fruit comes in a multi-layered bag with an air-tight seal (presumably to contain the smell), and each is listed at about $50 per 5 pounds.

There are hundreds of varieties of durian out there, and Costco sells Monthong, a popular variety grown in Thailand that's creamy, sweet, and arguably milder in smell and flavor.
