A YouTube video of content creators attempting to snag the durians also went viral. Now that the durian season is in full swing this year, the claw machines have made a comeback at a few locations across Singapore. Run by local arcade operator Play United, the machines were installed last week at its outlet in Hougang Mall, as well as two night markets near Yishun MRT station and Fajar LRT station in Bukit Panjang. For every two tokens, which cost $2, players get one shot at catching the thorny fruit. For $10 and $50, you get 15 tokens and 100 tokens respectively. They can be used at all the claw machines operated by Play United. Some players have already landed themselves bountiful loots. A content creator called Valentino said in his video that he and his friend managed to grab nine durians at the Yishun pasar malam. The clip, which was posted to his Instagram and TikTok accounts on Sunday (June 30), has since gone viral, garnering 2.4 million views and 500,000 views on the respective platforms.
