For the uninitiated, the eggplant or brinjal or baingan emoji is used in messages to refer to a male's private parts and this announcement naturally sent Twitterati in a tizzy.
Durex isn't really bringing out a savory condom flavor. Instead, the tweet was part of the company's campaign to get a condom emoji introduced in a bid to get young people to talk about safe sex.
Here are some of the reactions
#Durex has launched #eggplant flavoured condom.

So expect intimate couple conversations to be like "Darling what plants for the weak end?"

Durex thinks banging = 'baingan' in Hindi - they've launched eggplant condom. No other reason. Bhartiya nari gets a load of #Bharta culture

The funny thing is eggplant itself tastes like rubber. So Durex has launched condom flavoured condoms. Good job.

Jains are gonna avoid that Egg Plant Condom.

Dear Durex, please drop the idea of an eggplant flavoured condom.

As they say, let baingans be baingans.
