Tribal People Try Super Sour Candies for the First Time
About this video
Candy, 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 candy?
Candy means American and British sweets: Skittles, Sour Patch Kids, Warheads, Jolly Ranchers, Haribo gummies, Twizzlers, Reese's, M&M's, and the sour and 'extreme' sweets built for reaction videos.
What to watch for
Sour candy is the reliable reaction: Warheads and Sour Patch Kids pull the face every time. Gummy textures are unfamiliar and get chewed thoughtfully. Peanut butter cups divide the table down the middle.
The comparison they always make
Village sweets are boiled sugar and jaggery — gur, til ke laddoo, sugar-coated fennel after meals. Fruit-flavoured, brightly coloured candy is a shop treat for children, so adults tasting it is part of the fun.
