Tribal People Try Juice & Drinks

Every time the tribe has tasted juice & drinks: 5 videos of first impressions from villagers in rural Punjab, Pakistan, usually International food they have never seen before.

Also covers: smoothie, smoothies, lemonade, kombucha, coconut water, lassi, sharbat, rooh afza, milkshakes, mocktail

What it is

Drinks beyond soda: fruit juices, smoothies, milkshakes, kombucha, coconut water, Gatorade and sports drinks, and novelty drinks made for the internet.

What to watch for

Fresh juice needs no introduction. Bottled, flavoured and 'sports' drinks are where the questions start: why is it blue, why is it salty, what is it for. Kombucha's vinegar note is rarely enjoyed.

The village comparison

Sugarcane juice from a roadside press, lassi, and fresh mango or pomegranate juice set the bar. Anything from a bottle is compared to those.
