<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Here are some of the reactions</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
