Tribal People Try Icelandic Chocolates for the first time
About this video
A first taste of 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.
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
It's the tribe's 13th chocolate video out of 25. They first tried it in October 2020 ("Tribal People Try The Ferrero Rocher Challenge"). The most-watched chocolate episode is "Wait, Tribal People Try Nutella?!" (1.4M views). The video runs about 6 minutes and went up in October 2021.
