The first thing I noticed since I entered America was the chemical smell of foods and other stuff around me, and everything had so much salt and sugar. You can buy good food in America, even better than in Iran, only if you can afford to pay around 1500$ for food every month. (with 2022 prices, of course). But, in general, because culturally, people have way fewer options buying from local stores, you are prone to eat unhealthy anyways!
@@lordeowstheking a PERSIAN door latch. Persians are a beautiful people. Especially the more north they get. It’s a culture of subtlety, aka Americans are loud. Persians are soft.
I really liked this video! Alix is really upbeat & cheerful while Zoya is charming, witty & sharp. It was as cute as it was informative. Thanks for sharing!
For Zoya... I used to put my fruit roll ups in the freezer so they would peel off the plastic even easier. If your treat is a thin sheet you should try it & see how the texture reacts. I liked that the fruit roll ups would be cold & I would let them "melt" in my mouth & get chewy. Good stuff 😋
Zoya's snarkiness was kinda refreshing. And that Gaz sounds delicious. Not surprised about the saltiness of the snacks, as most desert dwellers need the salt to replenish what they lost in the heat.
If you eat salt you lose water :) also, these sour snacks are the traditional snacks of North Iran, which are even greener than Vermont lol. Iran's not a desert, it has a desert in the middle of it. because two huge sets of mountains divide the country into three parts and make all kinds of weather, having all kinds of ethnicities and races living in them. My hometown is even greener than Vermont. Just search North Iran you will see.
@@OrganicaShadows While eating salt can dehydrate you, it would only do so if you did not drink lots of water along with it. While Iran itself is not as arrid as other middle eastern countries, Persia was much larger and encompassed a large amount of desert. Zoya identified the snacks as Persian, not Iranian. Gaz, it turns out, is from the Isfahan region of Iran which is a high desert. Similar to the area I grew up in. I grew up in the desert southwest of the US. When I was working construction it was made clear that I should get plenty, but not excessive, amounts of salt in my diet. If you don't get enough salt and you drink excessively, you run the risk of lowering your blood sodium levels. This is not a good condition to be in. That is why we have sports drinks, which has a mix of sodium, potassium and other vital minerals for those who are active on hot days. I speak from experience as far as needing more salt in ones diet for those that live in hot and humid environments as well, as I now live in Florida. Sports drinks dominate the local convenience stores here.
@@derfman1963 Me too I spoke out of my experience, maybe I'm wrong! whenever I eat something salty I go to bathroom alot and lose water. I am Greek-Georgian-Persian. I have lived in all those countries plus United States and I found Iran a very interesting place, it has so much veriaty that I cannot describe unless you go and see. You see a desert and drive 1 hour and find a jungle, then you drive to mountains and can ski on the snow. If you have been in Turkey, it's kinda the same, but still very different for it's own. Turkey doesn't has that much geographical variety. Speaking of Gaz, Greeks have something similar to Isfahan's gaz called Mandolato. I guess in Turkey I found something similar too but it had no pistachio and had more sugar in it.
@@OrganicaShadows California has a very wide variety of climates too. You can bask in the sun in the desert and take a tram ride to go snow skiing in just a few hours. Head north a few hours and you will be in one of the most fertile plains on earth(when the politicians allow water to flow freely). An hour to the west and you will be amongst the biggest trees in the world. Another hour west and you can surf some of the biggest waves. If it wasn't for the fact at how poorly it is ran I would love to move back. I miss the mountains so much.
Even though Swedish fish come in multiple colors, the red ones are iconic and the best ones. I remember getting them at a store down the street when I was little and they are $0.01 a piece. My cousin and I would walk there all the time and get them.
how interesting it is that as a person who was born and grew up in Azerbaijan we had exactly same food/snacks/drink as Zoya from Iran. that drink is called Ayran though :D p.s. adore Zoya's confidence :)
Camera man: „have thought about capri sun as a mixer“ As a german i can say we mix it with korn (heavy german liquor) or vodka all the time and it tastes so good hahaha
I am a fan of Alix and Zoya...my aunty got her first puppy (I found her for my aunt) and she called her Zoya...and she is very spoilt ...and loved ...lol... I loved watching you both eating this messy sandwich lol...
as an iranian i believe that the tasty producers should have used a different flag to represent iran considering all that has been going on recently in our country. great video though.
Dried fruits are a big part of our culture... Aryans left the frozen lands of Siberia to seek warmer lands so we aren't really fond of cold weather...our ancestors would dry summer and spring's fruits and keep them to use during the cold months of the year...we celebrate both summer and winter solstice one bcs it's the longest day of the year and bcs it's the longest night of the year which means day will be getting longer after that and spring is on the way
Alix: “My girlfriend”
Tasty: “Friends”
First reply
@@gmanscricket442 literally why
im thinking they just really didnt want the title "tasty girlfriends swap.." bc that deff sounds like the beginning of a different kinda video lol
it actually can be interpreted as the Friends of Tasty since Alix isn't an official employee but a friend of Rie one of the producers.
@@stephanieormeno8606 oooh my kind of video! 😮
“And Tasty will call them! Close friends! Besties! Roommates! Colleagues! Anything but lovers! Tasty hates Lovers!”🎶

it means friend of tasty since alix quit and is not a producer and shes a friend of the producers.
The title is very ‘and they were roomates!’
Exactly LMAOOO
Right? So weird
@@friday8370 cuz mostly the people
Oh my god, they were roommates
I think they were trying to avoid d e m o n i s a t i o n
They are exactly the Golden Retriever and black cat couple 😩💕
The best dynamic
Title: “friends”
Alyx: Mmm let’s get one thing straight.. GIRLLLLFRIENDDDDD
It's interesting how Iranian snacks are all natural and so much healthier than the American ones

Most snacks are more natural and healthier than American snacks.... and I'm American 💀
exactly !! to eat healthy in america, its so expensive but processed food is so damn cheap.
Also, Iranian snacks don't have as much plastic packaging as American ones
we still have processed snacks. but these are traditional snacks that ppl carry into adulthood and eat w tea or meals a lot.
I'm a fan of Zoyas Persian charm. She needs more airtime
She has the charisma of door latch.

@@lordeowstheking mashallah sister
considering she isnt an employee at buzzfeed its no surprise she isnt there
@@draspotnuk if you get more north than they are not Persians but Azerbaijani Turks. Azerbaijani women are the most beautiful women in Iran

I’m so happy that Alix is back on Tasty! 🤩 She is so awesome!
She's not back on Tasty. She makes guest appearances but she's mentioned many times that she's no longer an employee.
@@mars7612 aww no 😭 I love her fun energy so much!
As an Iranian girl, I'm so glad to see a lovely Iranian person on tasty. It will be perfect if you try some of our foods,too.♡
Im iranian too❤
aww I love their vibe so much, plus the persian snacks look so delicious I wanna try them
I wish we had carbonated yoghurt
I am Persian and all these stuff can be made in your kitchen
For Zoya... I used to put my fruit roll ups in the freezer so they would peel off the plastic even easier. If your treat is a thin sheet you should try it & see how the texture reacts. I liked that the fruit roll ups would be cold & I would let them "melt" in my mouth & get chewy. Good stuff 😋
this is excellent advice, thank you
@@zoyaroya Would you mind sharing the fruit rollup you like? I tried to find them and got overwhelmed with options! thnx!
I always think of a cold , sweet, calm and a bubbly bundle of joy couple trope when I think of them 😂😂
😂😂😂😂Alix: “ thank you for bringing ‘delicious’ snacks”.
Zoya: “thank you for bringing snacks.”😂😂😂😂😂
Alix: Are you going to try it?
Zoya: No 😐
Reletable though. Wonderful video.

Iran isn’t a desert and also salt makes your body need more water
They're not friends, they're dating.
They probably didn’t put that cause we all know people would be out in full force with their pitchforks
We hope they're friends then!
i assume its meant in the way of " friends of tasty group"... after all alix isnt with them anymore(?)
i think they meant friends to tasty since they’re not part of tasty anymore
Literally the first sentence of the video states that they're dating.. what's your point here
I really liked this taste and swap video(compared to most)! There was genuine respect to both parties and their snacks! Well done.
As a Persian Canadian, I really liked this video
So happy to Alix’s girlfriend! Also, hello to Zoya!
Me too!
Yep! Happy to see Alix back and Zoya was fun to watch!
Damn i am iranian too i was hoping to see something persian in tasty 😍 so happy to see her
Alix is not alone anymore hooray! We need more love and friendships on this planet!
She was never alone she had rie
ALIX IS BACK! Tasty will never be the same without you !
OH MY GOD! I’m Persian and I have been waiting sooo long for someone or something Persian to come up. I know all of these foods!!!

Alex arghhhhhhh! I missed her so much, she is so much fun in herself. Looooooove seeing her❤❤❤
Yay for more persian snack presentation they're soo good I could eat toot for hours I need a backpack full. Should of put pashmak on here too

I agreeeee
AWWW THANK YOU SO MUCH
As a persian your comment made me so happy💖💖💖

I LOVE THEM😭💜💜
They're so cute idk who I have a bigger crush on 😍
I only remember Swedish fish being red. I love Swedish fish but I don't eat it anymore because of the food coloring. Zoya's dimples s-tier.
Awesome! THanks for sharing! Have a great day
They are so cute and It’s crazy how similar my favorite American snacks are to hers 😅 I would try the yogurt drink though lol
You never had a dough ?
@@_hermannlakehunt_7278 mach was du willst aber du siehst
most non persians hate it😭
it’s a very unique flavor we love it but non persian usually don’t
I LOVE TO WATCH YOUR YSMMY LOOKING RECIPES. Iwould love to try them all.Thank you for sharing. Lovely.
Who would describe Swedish fish as sour-ish? They’re not sour at all lmao
golden retriever and black cat energy
3:10 SHE KNEW WHAT SHE HAD DONE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Of course Swedish fish come in different colors (flavors). It’s just the red are the best so they get their own bag.😊
Both Ladies are Tasty Snacks ❤
You two are fun!!!
i'm armenian and i grew up on toot! love
OMG happy to watch s.o from my country😍🇮🇷
Wow! I love iranian snacks! It really brings me back to my childhood ❤❤❤❤thank you for making this video ❤️love u guys

Swedish Fish are always red, Alix. The ice cream sandwiches look good.
how interesting it is that as a person who was born and grew up in Azerbaijan we had exactly same food/snacks/drink as Zoya from Iran. that drink is called Ayran though :D
p.s. adore Zoya's confidence :)
Maybe because this food/snacks/ drink are older then border between our countries.
@@zslry9495 exactly!
Literally in love with Alix since forever
I watched the whole video to see them offer the other as a snack, and I realized that Zoya is classy to make that joke.
The Swedish fish 🐠 defo did come in different colourssss
🌈
Really great content I enjoyed it a lot
YES! Alex Swedish Fish are still multi colour, in Canada at least0
I love Alex!!! She’s so funny glad she is back workin at buzzfeed they better treat their employees right!!!
Gaz is a sap from a gaz tree like maple. Also, all the persian treats are natural and good for your body and health
Hello Tara👋👋
The title is giving me "gal pals" vibes
They mean they are friends of Tasty, not that they are friends with each other...it's a confusing title. They are a couple.
Alice is that friend you make at a Cultural Exchange Program that you cherish forever.
who is alice
They are so cute ❤️
That particular flavor of caprisun has a recall for cleaning solution
Happy to see Zoya here 🇮🇷
They're Amazing 🤩
Aaaw my favorite couple is here 😍😍😍
Camera man: „have thought about capri sun as a mixer“
As a german i can say we mix it with korn (heavy german liquor) or vodka all the time and it tastes so good hahaha
Just always check it for mold (see through bottom)
I KNEW they were dating. They gave that kind of vibe
They have said so a while ago lol

Cappuccino and Strawberry Its-It flavors are the best ones!
