Dear Singapore Uncensored,

I came across this image of a woman putting durian’s into a chemical dye to enhanced the appeal and smell of the durian. The image stated that “look good and smell good, eat already get cancer”.

It is unclear whether the dye will affect the safety of consuming the fruit but better be safe than sorry.

Words of advice to prevent buying this kind of durians.

1. Always tell the durian seller to open it up and check the white parts of the shell. Is it unnaturally yellow?
2. Use a piece of moist tissue and rub against the white parts of the shell and check if the color stains the tissue. (like the picture below).

The drink known as Black Powder with Chinese words written on it has caused an internet uproar.

A child in Bangkok purchase this tea alike drink and drank it. This drink contents an unknown substance that caused the children to become dizzy and fainting after drinking it. It has been reported on official channels that the drink is not approved by Thailand standards and officials are investigating the incident.

Please note that it is common for products from China/Taiwan, especially tea like bottle beverages to get imported to southeast Asia countries.

Chinatown sells all sorts of weird drinks you have never seen before. I’m not surprised if this drink is sold there.

Please note that if you ever see this drink. Please do not drink it and do not give it to children.
