I Made Tribal People Eat Burger King
About this video
Burger King fast food 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 fast food?
Fast food means the chains: McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, Subway, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and the rest, with menus that taste the same in Lahore and Los Angeles. Most of these videos are the tribe's first visit to one, or the menu brought out to the village.
Burger King started in Miami in 1954; the Whopper, its flame-grilled flagship, arrived three years later.
What to watch for
The packaging gets as much attention as the food. Then the food is judged the way everything is: is there enough spice, is the bread fresh, is the meat real. Fried things win; sweet sauces lose.
The comparison they always make
Pakistan has had KFC since 1997 and McDonald's since 1998, mostly in cities. For people from a village a few hours away, the brand is known and the taste is not.
