I Have An Obsession With The Tasty Videos On Facebook

Food that'll make you close your eyes, lean back, and whisper "yessss."

I Have An Obsession With The Tasty Videos On Facebook

If you are a regular Facebook user then most likely you have scrolled through your feed and videos of food will come up. It doesn't matter if you just ate the largest meal in your life, you will still immediately want the dish or whatever was just made on the video. One of the most popular short clips of various foods and meals was created by the millennial generation's unspoken BFF... Buzzfeed. Bless Buzzfeed for keeping us up to date about current events, celebrities, fun quizzes and now some yummy food with Tasty.

Described as, "Food that'll make you close your eyes, lean back, and whisper "yessss," Snack-sized videos and recipes you'll want to try", Tasty changes the Facebook game (or at least to me). Sometimes I will only go on Facebook to see if they have put any new videos up and its always an exciting feeling when you realize, yes they did (wow, I think I need a new hobby). Now I would like to acknowledge the most important job of these videos: the person who gets to take the one bite of the finished project is the person I want to be. You are the one that gets to try any and everything that is made. Imagine on your resume, "professional snacker and eater"; you'd be set for any job afterwards.

Now you have to be careful about when you look up Tasty on Facebook because most likely you will end up on Facebook for hours just watching these videos and then find yourself starving at 2 a.m. (I'm not talking from personal experience or anything...). The range of food that is made can be sweet or savory; easy or complicated; fast or slow cooking; and yet each one makes you think, "ya I can definitely make that". Who knows if you actually can, but you still go out to the store the next day to buy all the ingredients.

I have personally never made any of the recipes that I have watched, which is shameful since I have probably watched every Tasty video ever made. However, I do know someone who has. My best friend, the person who got me started on the Tasty kick by tagging me in a video on one fateful day, has actually made some of the recipes and boy, they turn out in real life just as good as the videos. Granted, she has only done the relatively simple ones, but regardless it didn't turn out like an infamous "Pinterest Fail".

Buzzfeed really out did themselves when they came up with Tasty, with over 50 million people who have liked it on Facebook, the amount of food that has been watched and hopefully made is infinite. I promise that one day soon I will make one of the recipes, but until then I'll just keep my long grocery shopping list handy.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
