I Bought The First 5 Things TikTok Ads Recommended To Me

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

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.

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

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

Me: excitedly waiting for Tyler's earwax getting cleaned
Saf: censors it
Am I disgusting? Lol

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

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.

the long awaited return of safiya's new intro song 🕺🏻

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!

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 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)

"Hairy ear Saf."
God Tyler REALLY loves her so much. Forget about "from her head to her toes", more like "from her will to melt everything into franken-somethings, to her ear hair."

Every Pizza Hut employee should get a free set of tastewear. Like all the accessories and stuff as their new uniform

can we just agree that the intro song is actually the best thing the internet has made her buy.

"I'm a Millennial and we're suckers for stupid Harry Potter sh!t.. " - Safiya Nygaard
Truer words have never been spoken 🤣 lol

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

I love how Safiya always starts off videos with a mini school lesson on whatever she’s doing, but unlike real school lessons, they’re actually interesting

Ok I haven't watched Safiya in a while, am I crazy or does she have a legit perfect radio-person voice thing going on?? 😆

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.

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.

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.

As the wise Chandler Bing once said, “You’re supposed to stop the Q-Tip when there’s resistance!” Idk why but watching Saf poke around in her ear made me think of that lol

Safiya is like me when I have intrusive thoughts but she acts on them and shares it with us

just wanted to say thank you safiya for always captioning your videos! it’s not something that’s incredibly common in larger content creators (for an array of understandable reasons, it’s a very taxing process), but it really helps! :]

if i had a nickel for every time Tyler referenced Master Oogway and the “today is gift” quote in a video or stream i would have two nickels. which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

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

Can we just talk about how years ago she was trying random things, and she had someone create a new intro song for her I SPECIFICALLY remember her saying “I’m probably not going to change my intro song anytime soon.” And now she’s still using this one?

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.

How can someone make videos so professionally yet so entertaining!!
Your videos just calm my mind ❤️

I live locally to the Harney & Sons mother store. They have grown immensely in the last 10 years, it’s so cool to see you get their tea! You can go there and taste test their teas, I’ve had some insane teas from them (including campfire flavored.) Paris is my favorite of theirs and I’m not a huge tea drinker. You should try more!

I will watch an entire video of Tyler cleaning his ears and both of you screaming about how gross it is 🤣🤣🤣

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

I think Matt, Saf, Steph, and Ty all playing Monopoly with lots of ridiculous trade proposals would be fun to watch.

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

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.)

We have a tea shop by us that sells mainly Harney & Sons teas including the one you got. They have a ton of options with many of them being way more flavorful than the peaflower one. I definitely recommend the cinnamon spice and chocolate and rose hip flavors they have. Just an FYI for anyone out there.

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!

If Safiya is bringing this series back, then I think that she should do a video on Twitter ads.

When I was a bartender I’d use the butterfly pea flower all the time to naturally change the color of drinks but I’ve never thought of just drinking it on its own

Safiya should do the same thing but different outfits through the week! The pizza fun outfit looked super fun

Safiya, I love your videos. Unlike other influencers, I feel like I can count on you to tell me the real truth. not just whatever you need to say to sell products. It's too hard to trust anything these days. Never stop what you're doing.

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.

20:19 I laughed too hard, especially at Safiya’s facial expressions 😂

“I’m a millennial, and we are suckers for stupid Harry Potter shit.”
Truer words have never been spoken.

You and Tyler are wonderful. Thank you so much for doing these videos. It certainly brings me so much joy and defo a number of chuckles!

I’m so thankful that Safiya adds subtitles; thank you!

Saf!! Butterfly pea flowers are used a lot in South Eastern Asia! From colorful jellies, drinks and sweets to flavouring for rice! If you search up some recipes you'll be amazed by their versatility!
Hugs and kisses from Italy!

This series from Safiya is EVERYTHING .

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😉

"I'm a millenial and we are suckers for stupid Harry Potter sh!t" I have never felt so attacked by something I 100% agree with.

Watching Safiya curl her hair, makes me sooo happy I have naturally curly hair 😆

Saf: It's not butterfly PEE it's butterfly PEA!
Tyler: Thanks you for the clarification!

Am I the only one who’d love to see Saf do a small business haul?

Butterfly pea flowers are mostly used for cooking at where I'm from. We just use it as a natural food colouring for cakes, rice and stuff. Hahaha I kept thinking how it's such a scam cos it's literally just dried flowers that you can easily pick.

Tyler is the only 1 that can get actual use out of Dentist horror movie Prop😂

As the person who made all of Hellofresh’s TikTok ads in 2020, I’m very excited for this

I usually can’t stand being late to the party and missing out on entertaining creators (especially on YT) Buuuttt, on the plus side, I have sooo many videos I can binge by Safiya. Silver linings ^_^

I got to the part with the hair curler and the beeping had my cat saying “nooooo” so I had to stop there haha. Thanks for testing these products so we don’t have to!

Actually, instead of drinking the butterfly pea, you can use it to cook pasta, which results in a purple pasta, or you can use it to make rice (like nasi kerabu). We plant them at the back of our house :)

I actually bought the hair curler when I saw it originally advertised on Zozoroe‘s page. It was way cheaper than 50$ and I actually like it a lot. So if you‘re interested, the original product is pretty good. BTW I bought it because I am really bad at doing my own hair lol, so it‘s pretty easy to use

For once in my life, I'm thankful for the temporary blindness my migraines give me cause I definitely didn't need to see that earwax bit in full. The comments were definitely enough 😂

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!

I love the butterfly pea flower tea! You can make colour changing cocktails with them. Just infuse with your choice of liquor! I do it with gin, for instance😊

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!

Can we all just appreciate how long her vids r! ✨

I actually have the earwax thing, because I have a condition that makes me produce an excess earwax, and I need to get regular cleanings, so it’s easier to do it at home rather than go to the doctors. I actually really like it

My friend ordered a mystery box, she definitely DIDN'T get her money worth.. She'll never do that again. Lol

I would love “Buying the first small business items TikTok recommends to me” video!!

Safiya and Tyler, I doubt you’ll read this comment, but on the off chance you do I felt like I should share this info. A nurse friend and I were discussing earwax a few decades ago. Everyone either of us talked with, who has excess earwax also had high cholesterol unrelated to diet and exercise. If Tyler hasn’t had his cholesterol checked, it may be a good idea. Her sons were very fit teenagers with high cholesterol. My husband and son also have the high cholesterol, excess earwax thing. I have almost no earwax and normal cholesterol, unless I made bad food choices prior to bloodwork.
If this helps anyone to get checked and have early treatment then I’ll be glad I shared.

Just take a quick moment to appreciate safiya and Tyler and all the work they put into making these amazing entertaining videos they spend their take money and embarrassment into making these videos. Big thanks to Safiya and Tyler again love you guys❤️❤️❤️🥰

i cannot even. safiya you‘re videos are so effortful and well produced. all those inserts from past videos…that must take ages. thank you 😍❤️

The thing i love about her is that she is very mature and not one of those cringe vlogers that are like "HEY GUYS, OMG I JUST DROPPED MY STARBIIEEESSS". I love her content and her yt shorts!

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 💛💛💛💛

Safiya should totally do a combining all bath and body works body sprays video

reasons i liked the butterfly pea tea:
- it’s tea
- the tiktok had harry potter (i’m reading the fourth one now)
- it changes color/colour
{okay but i just got to the part where tyler sang, “i can show you the world” and i think i’m going to cry}
love you safiya (and your name. it’s so unique! it’s also similar to mine)

Always enjoy your content, you always manage to make me laugh 😃

I know I'm a year late to the party, but as someone with curly hair who has to manage it a lot -- your curls will look a lot nicer if you create the "clump" with the machine, and then use a pin comb to separate the curl into smaller chunks with the handle. This goes for any large curls by machines; it helps them to look less manufactured.

Safiya is the worlds truth seeker. Risking her sanity to test shitty products for us. We thank you for your much needed service

Love that Tyler said the inside of Safs ear is cute... Then she said his ears made her want to throw up. 😆

About the Butterfly Pea Tea, I've this everyday. It's has a lot of health benefits and also good in a long term run for health-care. I've actually from these plants in my balcony and daily it gives me like 15-20 flowers which are then sun dried and consumed, this can be added in a lot of dishes. Eg,. Tea, oats, cake decors , salads, also used as a natural food colouring technic.

You could create your own tea blend with the Butterfly Pea Flower tea! Combining it with other flavourful teas might make it more palatable and such, while still adding lemon 😋

was hoping safiya would get recommended one of those hair eraser thingies so i could see if they actually work!! safiya is like the only reviewer i trust lol

Safiya, thank you for coming back. Genuinely from the bottom of my SWEET SOUL! Thank you.

I would love to see Sam try out things from Temu!

Saf trying to cover Tyler's eyes from his own ear footage is so wholesome.

"So overall... we did receive the box." That's some faint praise right there.

Tyler is sweet and adorable! I love you both 🥰

I’ve literally never seen an ad on tiktok I didn’t even know that was a thing wtf?????
Like I’m not complaining at all but how have I avoided it so thoroughly????????
Edit: I played myself so hard & now I know no peace 😔

Hey just a side note with the hair curler you don’t need to push it in and it goes on by it self. I have this product at home so this is why I’m telling you! Thanks for the hilarious content!

The hair curler actually works well, Saf was having trouble with it because she wasn't feeding the hair in right. I have one in a different brand though that I do my mums hair with and the curls come out pretty good if you take the time to section the hair properly and you line up the hair right so it feeds into the roller properly. You don't drop it in at the top but rather grab the strand and feed it into the side of the machine part way up your hair and the machine will suck it in and twist it around the spinning barrel.

Love your videos!! Also love Zoe she is amazing and funny and will put a smile on anyones face.

Omg this was so exciting seeing you do this I saw so many of my mutuals! Also I did one tt and one ig post for halara and did not tell them they could use my video and they used it for WEEKS for tiktok ads until I threatened to sue ☠️ they are a menace. But I’m SO GLAD YOURE ON TT!!

So happy to see you guys owning a pizza chain and all, keep up the good work!

Love your videos and I love your very quirky, silly sense of humour! I sincerely hope you and your man have a very merry and fun Christmas 🎄🌟🎉🎅🏼🕊👼🏼🎁 lots of love to you both 😊❤️

I just got to the part where you bought the cordless curling iron & I'm so excited to see you try it!! I bought mine for $52 on Amazon back in November and i take that bad boy with me everywhere now. Lol everyone at my office has one now and theyve bought them for Xmas gifts. Even ppl at the Starbucks and McDonald's drive thru are always asking me what it is. I just do my hair while I'm driving to work or at my desk. It takes me like 15-20min & I have long hair too. It has different heat and time settings so u can do waves or curls. It's literally changed my hair life 😍😍 I just charge it every night (unless I use the lowest heat/time then I can go 2-3 days), throw it in my purse & go. ❤️❤️ Highly recommend for anyone!!!
Oh, and the curler, you just need some practice. You twist the hair once where it's going to go in so it fits in the curler better, and hold the curler higher up your hair. Point the opening outwardly, and hold the button down until it beeps that it's done then release.
Now I want that tea. Lol I'll put flavor drops in lol

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. ☺️

Ok-real confession here; but if PizzaHut made that necklace in 14k with ruby pepperonis, I’d totally buy it.

The hair in your ears is how you hear, if I remember my "physics of sound" class in college directly. The hair picks up the vibrations of sound and your ear interprets it. No reason to be embarrassed about the hair in your ears, it means you've kept good care of them and you can hear well!

I’m glad you tried this out. I’ve seen it on Instagram but since it’s pretty expensive I was hesitant on buying it. I have a few discontinued lipsticks I’ve had for years that I’ve been trying to match

I believe the tea flower is the same Disney uses in their Blue Milk. I bought the recipe book and that's what they say to use.
