Tribal People Try Dunkin Donuts for the First Time
About this video
Dunkin' fast food, tried for the first time by villagers from rural Punjab, Pakistan. Nobody tells them what to say. Some like it, some don't, and in the Tribal People Try way they explain exactly why.
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.
Dunkin' started in Quincy, Massachusetts in 1950 and sells more than two billion doughnuts and Munchkins a year.
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.
