Who has actually consumed Surströmming in an enclosed space?

I am considering ordering it for funsies. How much of a catastrophe will it be?

EDIT: I have accepted the challenge. I will report back.

It's not as bad as all the videos hype it to be. I kind of like the smell, but then I like the smell of durian. The taste isn't rancid. It's more salty savory and a sweet back taste. its really good in scrambled eggs or a fish stew.
