Prohibition at its Finest
While alcohol is banned by the Iranian authorities, the underground market for it is still bustling with needy customers. Illegal alcohol is smuggled to such an extent that the venture is earmarked as something that brings in nearly $700 million over a given year. This rang true in the Western world too in times of prohibition.
Miracle Yoghurt
As you grow up, you may become attached to some alternative medicinal advice you received from an aunt when you were a child, or still trust in having some of your grandma’s favorite tea when you start to feel a little under the weather. Iran has something similar, in the form of their yogurt, which is used for a string of ailments. From ulcers to sunburn, yogurt has you covered apparently.
