Tribal People Try Hershey's for the First Time
About this video
A first taste of Hershey's chocolate in the village. This Tribal People Try episode does what the channel always does: put something new in front of people who cook every meal from scratch and let them talk.
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.
Milton Hershey built his chocolate factory, and the town around it, in Pennsylvania in the 1900s; Hershey's milk chocolate has a slightly sour note that people from outside America notice at once.
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.

Did the tribe like the chocolate?
Watch to the end — nothing is scripted, and when something doesn't suit them they say so. 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.
Is there Hershey's in Pakistan?
Hershey's products reach Pakistan through imports and city supermarkets, but for a village a few hours from Lahore this was a first.
Where was this video filmed?
In rural Punjab, Pakistan, where the participants live. The videos are recorded in the village rather than in a studio.
