HELLO FRIENDS!! Today, I return to the land of internet hauls and social media targeted recommendations - with a deep dive into the sponsored posts that appear on your TikTok "For You Page"! Previously, I have bought things recommended to me via targeted ads on Facebook, Instagram, UA-cam, and Snapchat - so when I finally relented and downloaded TikTok a few months ago -- I figured, we probably had to do a TikTok ad haul as well. So I spent a day scrolling on TikTok until I found 5 different targeted ads, purchased what they were advertising, and then put them to the test to try and figure out why TikTok might think I would like them, and whether or not they were any good. Which item was your favorite?? What ads do you get on TikTok?
Thanks to Kayley Melissa for helping me curl my hair!

HELLO FRIENDS!! hope you enjoy this somewhat upsetting deep dive into my TikTok for you page & targeted ads!! we bought some weird stuff, we explored some ear canals, we braved an automatic hair curler -- what did you guys think of the haul? and, what kind of ads do you get on tiktok? xoxo, saf
Mostly small resin shops! ^^ And I love the challenge so far!
Watching rn
Been waiting for another video 😅🥰 needed this tonight
HIIIIIIIII 3 MINS AGO!! LOVE U!
I get mostly Taco Bell ads - there isn’t even one near where I live 💀
the long awaited return of safiya's new intro song 🕺🏻
Yesss! My favorite
Soo cute
BEST NEWS
Safiy-ception.
Yes!! I missed it so much!!!
I have a full four-pack of the Pizza Hut red cups...unironically. I would let you borrow them in exchange for the keys to Flavortown from your appearance on our stream last week.
Oml matpat- WHO HAS 4 PIZZA HUT CUPS?!
@@losercassy7484 a total baller obviously 😝
Hey there, checkmark.
I need one of those
Ayo-
can we just agree that the intro song is actually the best thing the internet has made her buy.
I honestly can hear the song even when I have her videos on mute
this is safiyas… new.. intro song 😮😮
LITERALLY! I was just thinking that and it’s crazy I love that she’s still using it 🤣
@@khale1591 *brrrrrrrring*
I would love to see those Tik Tok wigs all over the place.
17:54 I think that’s the only time I’ve ever heard Safiya call Tyler “baby” and even though it was while he was cleaning his ears, I think it was one of the most wholesome things I’ve ever seen on the internet because it’s a super unscripted, real moment between them with her calling him pet names and trying to cover his eyes
I was just thinking this! So cute that we got to hear her call him a pet name despite the unfortunate circumstance. 😆😁
came looking for this comment, this was so cute🥺🥺🥺
the CCs said maybe :((
@@danielle7988 was abt to comment that 😭
I came here to say the same thing! So damn cute! ❤
TikTok is also full of small businesses. It’d be cool to see you order the first five small business products! So anything posted by a created w/o being sponsored. I think the diff b/w the ads and non ads is gonna be crazy
I was thinking the same, that'll be so interesting to watch and great for small businesses owners. It'll be like winning some kind of lottery.
Tiktok killed my startup. We were doing amazing with growing our audience and supporters and then tiktok downgraded my channel RIGHT before I launched my kickstarter to crowdfund in order to launch and now hardly anyone is seeing my videos and my kickstarter is going to fail probably. I know they did something intentional though bc they wouldn't respond to my inquiries about paid advertising spots, my comments answering our supporters are invisible to them (on my account it looks normal but I created another account and my comments can't be seen on that one or by anyone else I've asked) and I went from getting 10,000-200,000 views on my videos regularly to less than 1000 overnight basically. They literally killed my business.
Also, they keep deleting my drafted videos once a week for no reason AND randomly the drafted videos are automatically set to post to "Only Me" as a private video instead of to "Everyone" like it normally is.
Small businesses can buy ad's aswell
@@scandisnowgirl3696 someone said that a business account can actually lower your views and everything :( it’s better to have a creator account apparently
I think my favorite thing about Saf, Ty, and their videos, is that they’re so well edited, shot, and put together, but it still feels like I’m hanging with a friend and laughing
@Liza Nia ™🌹 😟😟😟
It’s in words
You ACTUALLY feel as if you're friends hanging out?
I'm genuinely wondering. I cannot relate at all and find parasocial stuff weird but it seems very common.
new patreon tier: my uncensored ear footage 😳
No thank you
Tyler you know we want the Ear Wax Cut!!!
🤪😁
Tell me why i came into the comments to see who else wanted to see this uncensored 👀 . I have to know what it looked like 😳
#releasetheearcut 😳😳
Somehow, I feel the “ripped off” hair curler is the same machine as the “original” hair curler, but that company stamps their logo/get a better box to sell it at a higher price. It's a kind of common practice around, and both machines look so suspiciously similar.
Exactly what I thought. I would even say that this is much more plausible than a counterfeit.
For the butterfly pea tea, here in Thailand we use it for dying our food in dessert or in rice dishes. I can recommend a beverage, a cold refreshing drink by adding honey, lime juice and ice. ☺️
I'm also from Thailand. I agree with this comment, a cold beverage of butterfly pea tea with honey and lime juice tastes great!
The first time I was exposed to the tea, was in 2017 on a trip to Thailand! One of the hotels I stayed at, gave it to us as a complimentary drink on some occasions! Since then, a boba shop has opened in my city, and they use the tea a lot. I love it in drinks with other stuff in it as well, but even just the plain tea was good!
I went to Thailand 3 years ago and missed out on my goal to buy butterfly pea tea because where I live it’s hard to acquire🥲
I always get an chan soda at my local thai restauraunt, which is made from that tea! :D
"This tea is nothing more than hot leaf juice!"
"Uncle, that's what all tea is."
ATLA!
Best comment ever!😆♥️
Well there is a difference between tinctures and real teas
atla omg
"How could someone from my own family say something so horrible?!"
As a Malaysian, we use butterfly pea flowers (locally known as "bunga telang") to make blue rice for our special rice dish, "nasi kerabu", and colour other dishes and desserts as well. So don't just limit the flowers to only teas.
Also, Vanilla Comoro and London Fog by Harney Teas are so good!
Does it add much flavour? It might be nice to use in cookies or bread to add colour?
Wait, could you make sushi with the blue rice?
@@AngelaEAwesome there's no flavour in the butterfly pea petals/powder, just the colour. Cook your rice with butterfly pea petals to turn the rice blue. If you add acid to butterfly pea tea, the tea will turn pink or purple!
In the Philippines we call it blue ternate and we also put it in rice😃
I live in KL and I didn’t realise that 😳
I know I'm late to the party, but I can't believe how expensive that tea was! Here in SE Asia, it's everywhere. The most popular way to make it is iced with sweet milk... like a yummy galaxy latte :D
Do you make it with or without the lemon juice?
@@eh1126doesnt milk + lemon make weird clumps in the liquid?
@@marthamathilda I would think so, but some people in the comments were saying it’s common to make it with lemon juice so I thought I’d ask 🤣
I was kind of thinking a similar thing about the tea, like I love tea, but not on its own, you need to add stuff to it to really get a good flavor (at least imo)
Something about Safiya going "Oh no, is this from Wish?" after reading a long title that's just full of keyword tags, is just satisfying.
And it really is from Wish. Pretty Pastel Please did a try on haul of curly tools from Wish this week and that one was in it. 😆
@@Nerdivinas haha, was coming here to say the same thing!
Hahaha😂 she’s been scarred by wish before.

If Safiya is bringing this series back, then I think that she should do a video on Twitter ads.
I'm sorry you have to deal with these spam bots
@Kaylie Nguyen LMAO
Me too! And I think one of common UA-cam sponsors (e.g. Audible, that sunglasses company, that mattress company, etc.)
Please don’t make this poor woman join the cesspool that is twitter
ua-cam.com/video/2xGaON5cgW4/v-deo.html 🙏🔥
The Safiya/Tyler & Mat/Steph friendship is everything to me. Like the most powerful theatre kid to theatre kid communication over UA-cam
Gotta love how Saf on every ad was like "not sure why we got this" but then proceeds to list the very obvious reasons that we have all seen from her content as to why she got that ad.
Literally ! 😂😂 I’m dead
The butterfly pea flower is so common in Asia, it's sad to see companies sell it for such an expensive price. As Saf said, it's basically just loose flower tea. It's no different than any other flower tea, except the fact that the blue flowers make the tea turn blue because... well... the flowers are blue... and science
@Pleoryo For reference, that bag is enough for 20 cups of tea, which puts it in the ballpark of right for nice teas and tisanes. H&S is pretty reputable as far as western sellers go, you can do a good bit better if you know what you want and order from a specialist, general sellers like H&S and Adagio tend to have a markup. For about that price I got about twice as much tea ordering a sampler from Mountain Stream Teas, but they only have taiwanese teas and nothing else.
😃
do you have any shops where I can buy blue butterfly pea tea for a price it should be at?
I am from Asia and the flowers are actually grown in my home i have the flowers throughout the year and from time to time I make that tea and add a bit of honey for a sweet taste! It is yumm!!
This flower grows everywhere near my residence and you can see it either on corners of houses or dangling on tress. They're pretty easy to grow but relatively invasive. They're a good natural blue pigment, though.
Love that Tyler said the inside of Safs ear is cute... Then she said his ears made her want to throw up. 😆
True love

#Couple goals
Every Pizza Hut employee should get a free set of tastewear. Like all the accessories and stuff as their new uniform
That would be amazing!
The tracksuit alone is 100 dollars...
OMG I missed "The Internet Made Me Buy it" videos!! They're my favourite! Safiya, if you see this, I hope you, Tyler, and Crusty have a good day 💛💛💛💛
Literally same !
As the person who made all of Hellofresh’s TikTok ads in 2020, I’m very excited for this
LMAO I SAW UR ADS!! i must be right in the target demo
The Wild West of TikTok ads - 2020
It was rattling to look at the numbers and see how many people had heard my voice 😂
Ooooo what a legend
"The vibes are good. The quality is... ok."
"Kind of like Pizza Hutt Pizza"
Lol Tyler!
Entirely accurate imho
I wish Safiya would do something close to this again but specifically for small businesses ads. most of these are bigger company. especially with the pandemic small bussinesses need more love then ever. (Also more likely to find Bat themed items she would actually want to keep after)
I would love “Buying the first small business items TikTok recommends to me” video!!
Knowing her influence, those businesses would go out of stock in less than a day after that video goes up
Omg yess
Yesss
Naive consumerist.
She doesn't need 4 ugly resin pyramids tho
For the Butterfly Pea Tea: make a batch, chill it, then mix with lavender syrup, lemon juice, and a little honey. Serve over ice. It's delicious :)
Omg, my stupid brain read your comment as "make a bath, chill in it". I just stopped to re-read at the "serve over ice" part. 😂
Alternatively: make a batch, chill it, mix half tea with half lemonade, a shot of gin and a shot of lemon juice. Serve with Ice and you have a wobberly unicorn! Enjoy :)
+
Also if you have dried galangal you can put that in and steep it with the tea. Then just add lemon juice. It’s so good.
Damn you are a tea expert
I really do love that your intro for "the internet made me buy it" videos is still the song the internet made you buy. Got to be the single best purchase from the whole series 😆
It's the product that she's gotten the most use out of, for sure.
Butterfly pea flowers are great for making simple syrup with and then you can use it in anything from magical lemonade instead of sugar to fancy mocktails to alcoholic beverages. Just add a citrus and it’ll change colours. You can also do it with purple cabbage if anyone wants a cheap duper stead of buying the leaves😉
Hell yes thank you for the purple cabbage tip

I got the bag when I was still a kid, I'm glad I kept it, it makes a great dice bag. In general, harry potter asthetic is on point honestly. Just, you know. Steal it. jkr doesn't deserve royalties.
Tyler looking at Saf's ears: "I think it's cute!" Saf looking at Tyler's ears: "I'm literally going to throw up"
I'm thinking everyone gets a fitness tracker in their electronics box, no one gets a tablet.
They did get the small mystery box. I'd guess that the sellers try to calibrate the value of the items to just above "I got ripped off" level, while diversifying the contents as much as possible (to up the odds that at least one thing will be something the buyer will like). Hence, no chance of a tablet in the little box, possible chance for the larger ones.
...you're not wrong, I just got to overthinking.
Maybe a $35 Amazon tablet
"I'm a Millennial and we're suckers for stupid Harry Potter sh!t.. " - Safiya Nygaard
Truer words have never been spoken 🤣 lol
I heard that wrong way and I was so offended
This is the first time I think I've ever heard Saf refer to Tyler as "baby" & I was like, "oh wow she's really concerned lol"
My thoughts exactly when that happene
“i think it’s cute” - tyler, as we get an extreme close up of safiya’s ear like bruh 💀😭 that’s too funny and cute
Ikr that was so cute
Yeah lol, I was like "buddy, you're biased"
They're so adorable and the biggest couple goals
Saf's 'alright' never I mean NEVER gets old and always brightens my day.
Well, to be fair to the hair curler, it's not so much of a knock off, rather they're all the exact same and companies can pay to put their logo on it. It's the same as those Laser Hair Removers like Lux skin, Hey Silkly Skin, and other brands. It's the same device, but companies can pay to customize it.
I work at an ENT office and I am so horrified by the wax wand thing. That seems like an easy way to mess up your ears: by compacting your ear wax further or possibly bursting your ear drum.
I was wondering about this! It looks a little too long and thin to be safe...
@Amanda Diaz thiaaa a izallLzlkslalal a
@Amanda Diaz good szza
@Amanda Diaz zzAaqlaoo o cuddear I’m rxlsa
@Amanda Diaz good
the tea company has an incredibly smart marketing strategy. you get the tea because its so pretty and looks good, but the samples that come with it get you hooked on their probably better-tasting teas
They make really good tea. I always buy their Paris Tea, which is like Earl Grey with more flavor
For the Curling thingy, you have to actually feed it in sideways from as close to your scalp as you want your curls to start.
It will pull the loose end of the strand in by itself.
Saf was pulling it in from mid/bottom which is why it only curled that much.
I was legit talking in a very frustrated tone at her while she was doing this wrong 🤣🤣🤣
@@aleyajulias6435 Yeah idk why but it frustrated me so much lmao
@@Ana-su3fb I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was irrationally frustrated by it 🥴🤣
I was getting so mad lmao
@@aleyajulias6435 oh yeah you’re definitely not the only one 🙃
My mom and I bought butterfly pea tea about four years ago and you can actually add lemonade and it has the same effect, it'd probably taste better that way. We also would put ice in it and have it cold which was actually really refreshing :) hope this helps and you can get some use out of all the tea you bought lol
Of all of those, the only product I would consider buying would be the tea. Harney & Sons is a very well-known brand (they sell it at Barnes & Noble amongst many other places) and butterfly pea tea has become popular in recent years. I've never had it as a straight-up tea, though I did have it in a cocktail and enjoyed it.
Totally agree with you. It’s really best in a cocktail, or in lemonade (like harney’s prebottled butterfly pea lemonade)
@@zoeoro-hahn5752 got any other recommendations? Butterfly pea tea seems really interesting.
@@elbowsbuns1896 Tbh I think it's also best iced, it's a little overwhelming when it's scorching hot. It's good in cocktails like Aviations/Gin-based cocktails with citrus (side note, that's what Empress gin is, it's infused with butterfly pea flower).
I love Harney & Sons and didn't know they carried butterfly pea tea until this video
I don’t like butterfly pea flower tea at all, but I do adore Harney & Sons in general. The teas are consistently high-quality. My favorites are Paris (flavored black) and Dragon Pearl Jasmine (scented green).
As someone who has been here for years, this is the first time I've heard Saf call Ty 'baby' (especially considering the circumstances that led to it😂😂) ( at 17:54) and it's the cutest thing ever!! I love you guys so much!
Thanks for the timestamp!
uuf ikr. i was looking for a comment like this
Omg same ahaha was wondering if anyone else noticed
Same! I wanted to bond with other people who thought it was so cute 🥰
@@shereadsmysteries Especially the way Saf said it like "baabbyy!!" Just adorable!
I have had a Babyliss auto curler for a few years and it's actually pretty decent! I have a disability that affects my hands and it's the only curling thing I can use, haha
Good to know, thanks!
I also recommend the Chi Lava Curl Wand! Works amazing as well.
I have something similar and really like it too! Don't think it really worked for Saf as she was starting at the bottom of the strand rather than the top XD Also, you can change the direction of the curl (left and right) so it curls away from your face
ua-cam.com/video/2xGaON5cgW4/v-deo.html 🙏🔥
I bought that Babyliss curler back in 2014ish and it stopped working 2015ish. It still spins but it doesn’t heat up. I liked it when it worked but that sucker was major $$$$ (like 200+ range if im remembering right)
Fun Fact: the dried blue pea flowers is native to South East Asia. And in my country which is Malaysia, the flowers is used as a colouring for our delicacies!
The butterfly pea flower was meant to be added to your tea, it doesn't do anything except make the color change. The flower itself isn't the tea. If you ever want a real tea, Adagio Tea has "Bella Luna Blue" which has the same flower but also tea; it's very delicious!
I've had a package of Bella Luna Blue for a while now that I haven't actually opened and I did NOT know it had butterfly pea flower in it.
I block every single account that advertises to me. It leads to me getting really obscure ads once I’ve blocked the big companies lol
I love this
With the butterfly pea tea, warm up some milk on the stove with the flowers steeping in it, then add vanilla extract/paste and a little bit of sugar or honey. It's my favourite winter hot drink!
This sounds lovely
Sounds good

Not me just now realizing that she specifically uses this version of her intro song on her "shopping" videos after watching her for literal YEARS.
I can now predict exactly which videos have her original intro and this one and I feel incredibly powerful.
Just as an FYI - I'm pretty sure that having hair in your ears is a good thing! It keeps out dirt, dust, and disease-causing bacteria. So having a lot of ear hair is good, Saf!
Yup! Nothing to feel weird about:)
Wax too! It’s to protect your ear by filtering dirt.
Also fun fact, there are hairs further inside your ears (in the eardrum specifically) that are the reason you can hear, and the reason people go deaf in most cases is because of losing those hairs.
@@thatsanriosoftboy damn that’s crazy
@kris1126 yes you are correct! My ears were so itchy/irritated and dry inside and I went to my doctor and she said my ears were “too clean”. I realized it’s from having earbuds on too often. So I stopped wearing them/wear them minimally. And within a week, ears not itchy or irritated anymore.
As someone who's been watching Safiya since the Buzzfeed days, it's so weird to me that I ever saw her as intimidating 🤣 She's such a big dork I love it 🖤
Same! She's so nice and fun that it almost seems ridiculous lol
I also thought she was like 35? Hahaha

"Sick of tea!? It would be like being sick of breathing!" I love Uncle Iroh ♡
How can someone make videos so professionally yet so entertaining!!
Your videos just calm my mind ❤️
hot tea tip about butterfly pea tea, generally you mix in the flowers with other tea bases for better flavour.
the flowers give a pretty colour and the other tea you use as a base provides a better flavour.
plus adding honey always helps.
butterfly pea tea isn't the tastiest but it is the prettiest. just need to work with it to properly enjoy it's full potential.
Saf using _all_ those leaves, and then being surprised that a concentrated and dried flower had a pungent odor, had me rolling. the lemon water works for many different types of tea, and I'm glad Safiya explained the science behind everything. she's always so thorough when she films, and it's nice to see the effort!
Safiya entering the room in her Pizza Hut tracksuit gave me straight up “Vector” from Despicable Me vibes😂
“These are NOT PAJAMAS!”😂😂😂
i know!! her pants were hiked up far like he does 😂 and with the shirt tucked in
Tyler’s 🎶INTO THE SHAAAALLLOOOOOWWW🎶 at 16:27 makes me CACKLE every time
I don't think Safiya realizes how often she talks about Tyler's ears in videos. Because when the ear wax remover popped up, I went, "Oh. That's for Tyler."
Oh dear god you poor soul you've been invaded
Safiya manages to look pretty even in that awful Pizza Hut outfit
The audacity of the price tag on that track suit, when it looks like wish quality 😶
She can literally pull off anything at this point!
*amazingly beautiful
The Harney&Sons tea was wild to me... David's Tea has had a blend called 'Magic Potion' for years now that does the same thing and is not just one kind of flower - it's supposed to be blue raspberry-esque. you might like that better in regards to taste, and still get the look. Less expensive too.
While you can probably find cheaper tea out there, I’m still going to go out of my way to defend it because pea flower tea is delicious.
ive actually made tea from violets from my yard (after washing them, of course) and it has the same effect!
it tastes really good too
@@nyx..z interesting. I’ve tasted violet candy but not violet tea. I want to try some now.
@@MissCaraMint you should! i recommend adding some sugar though 😅
ua-cam.com/video/7r1ngIc3Vbs/v-deo.html
My roommate is Thai and she's been making me butterfly pea flower tea since forever! She adds pandan leaf powder to the tea since it doesn't have much flavour on its own. She also drinks it chilled. If you squeeze the lemon on top, the reaction happens much more slowly, and you get this beautiful gradient!
These are BY FAR my fave videos. I’m always so tempted to buy this stuff and these videos either satisfy the craving without me spending my own money or show me that something I want is actually worth it so I don’t have buyers remorse.
I love watching safiya because she does ALL the things we all wish we could and want to do. But we get to watch with no regret if they don't work out 😅😂
Literally ! She shops for us
For anyone interested in the butterfly pea, 30$USD for that pack of butterfly tea is expensive honestly. I get it at the local asian market for a fraction of that price in CAD. Im sure there are better places to get it online
Also, Mix it with lemonade instead of straight lemon juice. It tastes a lot better 🥰
I got some from Amazon a few years ago from a (apparently) family owned business. I think it was a similar quantity but I paid about $13CAD.
And yes to the lemonade! The bubble tea shops and some Asian restaurants in my city that sell similar drinks will call them galaxy lemonade or tea.
@@offthesidelines Nice. Yeah, That's a lot more reasonable lol
I live in Asia and that stuff grows wild here. So funny to see it being sold at $30 a bag 🤣
@@ChelseaDaggification Start an import business $$$ 😂😂😂
@@Lochnessie4066 yes!!
About the curling method: I think you just have to insert an upper part of your hair - then it will grab the lengths itself. So it‘s like whereever you choose to insert the tool is the highest part/ starting point of the curl.
My local cafe has butterfly pea latte. It's a blue soothing drink. Butterfly pea is also considered a sacred plant, so I come and drink it when starting something new - a new university year or anything significant. ❤️
That's really beautiful🥺
Awww that's cute! Wish you all the best :)
saf: i was surprised that this tea was basically just dried flowers.
me: ohhohoho i bring strange news about most tea!!
Right? she's gonna be so surprised lol
I would scared if I saw Safiya wearing pizza hut attire eating pizza saying "THE PROPHECY HAS BEEN FULFILLED!"
After watching the tea one I started to think: I put turmeric in my tea, I could probably make it turn purple if I added baking soda... That probably wouldn't be a good idea though.
(If you are wondering turmeric also reacts to bases and acids, but adding an acid just makes it turn brighter yellow, while a base turns it a soft purple. I know this because I once tried to get a turmeric stain out of clothing and the internet suggested lemon juice or baking soda, it did not work, but was a cool science experiment! RIP those shorts.)
$29 for a bag of tea that’s not even really made to drink by itself is crazy. Thank you for using your money to save ours 🙏🏻
You can drink it on its own you d9nt need to add the citrus
It's not even advertised as tea it's just the dried flowers
It is actually good by itself. I personally really love the flavor. If you have ever takes a dried pea and nibbled it then that’s exactly what it tastes like. Mmmm. Though lately I am using all the herbal teas I own to make blends.
I was thinking the same thing ! 😂
I'm not sure if it's just a South East Asian thing, but we use Butterfly Pea flowers for naturally dying rice to make desserts and rice dishes blue! You can use it to decorate and colour fabrics too 😊
I do think that using the flower for drinks and consumption (in its actual flower form) has gained popularity in the past 2 years, cos of its pretty colour
There's an Asian restaurant in my area that does this!
I was about to comment something similar! It's very popular in Taiwan and I wasn't aware of the name until I translated into Mandarin lol
My old school made butterfly pea tea with cream and my grandma makes butterfly pea rice! I’ve also eaten butterfly pea nas I lemak and the colour would sometimes seep into the egg which looks gross but was rad
my mom grows this in her garden lol, this is an asian thing alright
Yes! We use it a lot in Thai desserts and dishes :) I think it is predominantly a south East Asian flower

Heya pro tip: if you want to get more use out of the tea its best to put a pinch of it in other teas to make them more fun especially since it makes the taste tasty ^.^. I enjoy adding it to a lavender chamomile and pretending like im drinking a sleep potion. Also as a bartender we use it to make those cool color changing cocktails.
I can’t believe they’re out here selling straight butterflies pea flowers as tea. And at that price…. Yes, it changes colors. Yes, it’s safe to consume. No, it’s not tea. Tea may just be “hot leaf water,” but some leaves are a lot more flavorful than others. Pea flowers are hardly flavorful
@@aduckofsomesort they're advertising it as a drinkable liquid though
@@Amsayy ... it is a drinkable liquid
@@asimplerock2952 yeah if you hate yourself
I think it's meant to be added to one of their tea blends to change the color. For example, they have a tea called "indigo punch" that includes these flowers to give it a purple color.
I used to sell this as a gimmick at a restaurant I worked at. It was the butterfly pea tea cooled down over ice and then we have a little glass of lemon juice and sugar syrup blended together, once dumped in it would change colors and it was basically making lemonade
"the plaid tablecloths", "the stained glass chandeliers", "the iconic red cups" IM SORRY WHAT??????????? I feel like we europeans get a completely different pizza hut experience because I've never seen those things????????,
That was the classic pizza hut look when they first opened up over here in the U.S. they have gone away with the look now more "modern" look.
I didn't know we had pizza hut 😂 also going of your name, are you Dutch? If so, hello fellow Dutchie 🤗
The way she says " alright " 11:32 is so satisfying to me
The wireless curler was a knock off of the Unbound Beauty in Motion wireless curler, which works really well. My daughters (ages 7 and 9) are even able to operate it easily without anyone getting burned because the barrel is covered. It's definitely a must try! 😊
Why are such young children damaging their hair?
Why are you letting literal children curl their hair
@@roshs5619 My grandmother put my 4 year old hair in hot curlers with little regard for how hot they were or whether or not I wanted my hair curled for church or being a flower girl. If they want to do it and its not hurting them, its miles ahead of what I endured as a kid. It's all gonna grow out before they're adults anyways. Let em live a little (funky colors and crazy hairstyles are fun).
I wonder if safiya will do a redux where she uses the real version of things she bought the knockoff of
@@roshs5619 probably because they want too
The Pizza Hut part of this is like a throw-back to the "trying on crazy clothes" videos of years past, which were some of my favorites. I really like this format!
Honestly same. I feel like bath and body works needs to bring out clothes for her haha
You should do a video where you buy the first 5 items from a small Etsy shop/ small business that comes up on your fyp since their way of doing ads is making tik toks
I drink Butterfly Pea Tea a lot and those flowers are just supposed to go into the tea mixture, usually you don't just drink the "tea" that comes from the flower themselves haha. Love ya Saf
Huh?
I am also very much confused
Like, you're supposed to drink it combination with another type of tea
ahh, so it's mainly for the color and aesthetic, so you can mix it with another tea. Neat!
Explanation for the confused: it's basically a mixer, can add to other teas so it taste good and still turns purple probably would also be good in alcohol like show a bunch of tipsy people magic colour changing drink would probably impress
I was literally drinking Harney & Sons blackberry tea when she started talking about it, and just kept looking back and forth. ARE YOU TARGETING ME SAFIYA?!
I love Harney and Sons tea. I like the hot cinnamon spice.
I LOVE Harney and Sons especially their black tea, but some of their green and flower teas can taste pretty grassy
To be fair, Barney&Sons is fantastic
their Paris tea is amazingggg!
It's always heartwarming to see Safiya's charitable act from buying these product that probably nobody buys😂
and it’s not just that, she buys/tries them on camera and essentially gives them free promo. i wonder how many brands/services have seen an increase in sales or popularity bc of Saf lol
@@victoriat7961 exactly😂 those people be laughing their way to the bank
tea blender here! can confirm those are actual butterfly pea flowers, and are typically on the pricer side of ingredients put in tea blends. its typically supposednto be added to a tea (green or herbal usually) as how you metioned, it doesnt smell great. my work pairs it with a blueberry green tea and it turns the tea into bluegreen anime looking water. its kinda just "ooo cool color" and "ooo acidity science" with the lemon juice turning it pink.
its also used alot in alcoholic mixed drinks when they dont want to use that one blue alcohol, but want a blue colored drink.
I'm not much of a TikTok person but I also miss these "Internet Made Me Buy Things" series!!! Absolutely love it and cannot wait to see what TikTok recommends to you 🤩
A few months back I got an ad for one of those cute little thermal printers & I wanted to use it for journaling. I tried to check on the status of my order, but the whole website disappeared. After that I don't trust tik tok ads anymore...
Aaah! Thanks for the ❤ Safiya!
Did you try to get your money back through your bank?
Same thing happened to me with a marvel iron man mask. I recommend contacting your bank for fraud.
THE AMOUNT OF LOVE YOU GUYS HAVE
"My ear is so hairy"
"I think it's cute"
I'M SOBBING
The only times I've ever seen Pea Flower is in fancy cocktails where it's layered to gradually change, I never thought people would drink it on it's own.
I'd recommend steeping a combo of butterfly pea flowers with another tea you like, since the flowers don't have a strong taste, but the color is very strong, so you don't need a lot to make it work. If you like roasted flavors, barley tea is good, floral teas like jasmine work well, and of course green tea is very compatible with the earthy flavor of the flowers. It's an easy way to make any drink more appealing really, you see it used to make smoothies a pretty purple color or in cakes.
You could also mix it with hibiscus tea to make it like a bright purple and with lemon would make it like a bright pink
The butterfly pea flower tea is actually really really good, especially with a berry puree (mixed berries and lemon juice blended together). Sooooo good
i have to try that, i have it with honey and lemon
This reminded me to add them to my tea garden
Or make a latte of it (tip: recent video by Pick Up Limes here on YT) 💕
is it that blue tea
a local place to me makes a tea brew with butterfly pea flower and lavender and it’s soo nice
Safiya: "I think the only items someone might actually want are..."
Me: slippers
Safiya: the t-shirt, cup, and maybe necklace
Me: Oh...
Me wanting nothing but the jacket lol
Honestly I was thinking the same thing !! Who wants that tacky necklace 😂😂
me too and i dont even like slides normally 😭😂
Yess the slippers I was like fuck crocs I’ll have them please 😇

I will watch an entire video of Tyler cleaning his ears and both of you screaming about how gross it is 🤣🤣🤣
17:46 safiya says “no BABY” it’s sooo cute!!!! I love them ✨✨
It was adorable 🥺🥰
Don’t know if anyone has said it but the Polaroid box was actually photo paper sheets for the Polaroid Zip printer and you can make little Polaroid sized photos from your phone 🤗 it’s a really cool printer I’ve had mine a few years!
I feel like the box was too small to be a printer. But in saying that I don’t actually know how big the printer is so who knows
holly G They didn’t say it was a printer. They said it was sheets FOR the printer
@@hollyg9589 this printer itself isn’t much bigger than that box, but the box she got was just the sheets for said printer 🤗
