Your memorable Instagram photos can now be printed and eaten on gourmet-printed marshmallows. That’s right, a UK-based company called Boomf lets you print your favorite Instagram photos onto a square-shaped marshmallow. Using the Boomf app, you can choose nine of your photos through Instagram, then drop them through the letterbox provided to order instantly.
The image quality on the marshmallow is not superb, but is a fair representation considering they're literally edible. The best images to use are those with high-contrast and lighting. At the time they are only available within the UK, but will eventually be sold world wide. It’s amazing how photos can actually be eaten, thanks to the power of the Internet.
