Can a Tribal Person Resist Chocolate?
About this video
Chocolate in front of villagers from rural Punjab, Pakistan — that's the whole Tribal People Try recipe, and it keeps working because nothing is scripted.
What is chocolate?
Chocolate from the shops: Cadbury, Hershey's, Lindt, Kinder, Toblerone, Ferrero Rocher, and spreads like Nutella. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate each get a different reaction, and dark is the hardest sell.
What to watch for
Milk chocolate is liked at once. Dark chocolate — bitter, drying — is where the faces come from, and eighty-per-cent bars are treated as a prank. Nutella is the runaway favourite in almost every chocolate video.
The comparison they always make
Chocolate is available everywhere in Pakistan, but as a small bar for children, not something adults eat. Older participants often say they have not had it since they were young.
This episode
Tribal People Try has covered chocolate 25 times; this one is number 21, and the first was "Tribal People Try The Ferrero Rocher Challenge" back in October 2020. The most-watched chocolate episode is "Wait, Tribal People Try Nutella?!" (1.4M views). The video runs about 8 minutes and went up in June 2024.
