Tribal People Try TANG for the First Time
About this video
Not every Tribal People Try video is about food. "TANG for the First Time" is one of the culture episodes: villagers from rural Punjab, Pakistan come across something new and react to it the way they react to everything — curious, blunt and funny.
About these episodes
Culture and everyday life elsewhere: a New York apartment, a Japanese train, a supermarket, a gym, a wedding in another country, Western clothes, house prices, how people eat with a fork and knife.
What to expect
These are the episodes where the village meets the world's habits rather than its food. The prices of ordinary things — rent, a coffee, a haircut — get the biggest reaction of all.
The village view
Village life is family courtyards, farming, the mosque, the bazaar and tea. The comparisons are gentle, funny and often land on the same conclusion: the world is strange and home is fine.
About Tang
Tang, the orange powdered drink, was launched in 1957 and became famous when NASA sent it up with the Mercury astronauts in 1962. Tang is a Ramadan staple in Pakistan and comes in mango and lemon flavours there.
