My laundry detergent is "Barf". I kid you not! In fact I think I have logged about this before. It is Iranian, and I think it means "super-duper white" or something like that in Farsi. Anyway, it is definitely a crackup. I am tempted to scan the box for you, but I am feeling too lazy to do that now. One of the interesting things about this box is that, like many other Iranian products, they copy American packaging lingo, whether they know what it means or not. For example, it says "The Seal of Quality" under its logo. OK, that makes sense, but what does "T.A.E.D" mean? They write "Barf with T.A.E.D." as if I should know what it means. This reminds me of the Iranian toothpaste I used which said "MFP" on it, again with no explanation. What did it mean? Maximum Flouride Protection, taken right off of the Crest tube ;-) Sadly, the Iranian store by our house closed. It was the only one I knew of which had many of the products we loved. (Worry not, Barf at least is sold everywhere)

Here is the English blurb on the side of the box for your amusement...


Combination of T.A.E.D. with perborate in Barf, delivers effective bleaching and hygienic performance, even at cold wash.

Barf with finely balanced formulation, removes even the most stubborn dirts without causing any harm to clothes.

With inclusion of soap in Barf formulation, the softness and texture of fabric is preserved.
