That can't be legitimate, can it? (9" tall, 1/2" in diameter? Seriously?) If so, hard (sorry) to believe ad copy could be so naive.
We lived in Taiwan and China for 5 yrs. Durian was a real no-no. I remember travelling to Vietnam on business and in the hotel room a big sign: 'If you bring Durian into the room, $200 fine'. The problem is the smell is either you like it or you don't and it and it lingers for days.
That said, I have a lot of nostalgic thoughts about Asia - I was very lucky to have experienced it when I did 2006 to 2015 (5 yrs in Japan, 4 in Taiwan and nearly a year in China based in Shanghai).

It’s not a real ad but it was made as early as Chris says. I remember giggling at it in my childhood, before I understood half the innuendoes.
Without a hint of exaggeration, we just bought 10 bags of Durian candy as they are on sale now.
Zoomed in, and I think that read 1 1/2” diameter. Are folks here familiar with WD40 origin story? It’s literally rocket science.
I was in the automotive business for about 10 years in the late 60s to late 70s. I doubt that was a true ad for WD40, but wouldn't be surprised if it was something produced by the company as a promotional gag. All of the calendars and direct advertising materials that companies put out would not be acceptable these days.

Apparently, Durian is a lot of trouble for hotels when it is in season, and you have to fumigate the room with an ozonator to get the smell out, which unfortunately bleaches out the drapes and the carpet a trifle. That's something I learned from a TV program called "Forbidden Foods" while I was flat on my back in a a hospital for about 24 hours.
I was in the audio retail trade in the mid ‘70s when Yamaha had a sales campaign “Up Your Points”. The posters featured what today we’d describe as Only Fans models who seemed to have insufficient funds for under garments, or the time to dry their T-shirts before wearing.
