Iran's Secret Weapon: BARF

That's right.
The friendly people at Paxan Corporation, an Iranian company, present to the world... BARF.
Apparently the Russians are really lapping up this BARF, judging by the fact that the commercial is recorded in Russian.

This is not to be confused with 'Barf", the character played by John Candy (RIP) in Spaceballs:

Nor should it be confused with this:

Yeah, but it isn't like they've cornered the market there. They're also competing against similar products on the market like Puke and Retch. No need to regurgitate the facts about any of these competing products. I think it goes without saying that we can't yet throw up a clear winner here.

2 Great you can you put BARF as a third curse of mother Russia. First two being: fools and roads.
In retroprospective I should have know when that laundry smelled funny...

3 Kafir, :-)
FYI,  the "a" is a short vowel, so it's not pronounced like the English "barf".
Second, the word means "snow" in Persian; I guess it's meant to indicate white as snow.

4 Thanks for the Persian definistion of 'barf'...but listen to the video.
She says "barf" in Russian, almost exactly as we do.

7 The BARF woman isn't wearing a hejab. She should be stoned to death.

8 I have a box of Barf from my stay in Saudi.  Can't bring myself to wash the clothes with Barf, but to be honest, Barf smells pretty good.  Soapy, even.

I was unable to get the bottle of dishwashing detergent, Spooge, on the plane, however.

10 Barf scented bliss. It was one of the first words I learned in Persian...but now a question for you Rusty....who did all the Sowt al Kufr videos, and where can I find them?
