Tribal People's First Reaction To McDonald's McFlurry Oreo!
About this video
Not a tasting this time. In this Tribal People Try video the tribe watch McDonald's cookies and react to it in their own words.
What is cookies?
Cookies and biscuits: Oreos, chocolate chip cookies, shortbread, digestives, Biscoff, Girl Scout cookies. Oreo is the most-featured single product on the channel and has its own set of videos.
McDonald's began as a single restaurant in San Bernardino, California in 1940 and became the world's largest burger chain after Ray Kroc started franchising it in 1955. The Big Mac dates from 1967. It opened in Pakistan in 1998, in Lahore.
What to watch for
Everyone dunks. The Oreo twist-and-lick ritual gets demonstrated and mostly ignored in favour of dipping the whole thing in tea. Soft, chewy American cookies are a new texture — biscuits here are crisp.
The comparison they always make
Biscuits with tea is a daily ritual in the village, so cookies arrive into an expert audience. The tribe's reference is the plain Pakistani tea biscuit, and anything sweeter is judged as cake.
