Tribal People Try Toblerone for the First Time
About this video
In this Tribal People Try video the tribe meet Toblerone chocolate for the first time. Most of them had never seen it before the camera started, so the first minute is questions — what is it, what's in it, how do you eat it — and then the plates go round.
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.
Toblerone was created in Bern in 1908; the triangular peaks are said to be the Matterhorn, and the honey-almond nougat is the original recipe.
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.
