Thanks to my friend Scott, I now know that London company Boomf has come up with the idea of printing your Instagram photos on sweet, squishy completely edible marshmallows!
Each Boomf is a 24 calorie bite-sized 4cm by 4cm square treat printed with edible ink that will last for 6 months in their packaging or 3-5 days once opened. They come nine to a box for £12 (approximately $20) and shipping, even worldwide, is free.
Easy to do. Just log onto Instagram through their site here. Pick 9 photos from your own (or your followers) and they drop through your letterbox... Voila! They'll be sent to your address in a few weeks.
Nicely packaged, they make great gifts for friends, clients and promotional ideas as well:
So, who is behind Boomf?
Boomf is owned 45% by James Middleton, 45% by Mint Digital and 10% by Steve Finan. James is the entrepreneur behind Nice Cakes. Mint Digital is a digital product studio based in London. Other Mint products include Desk Beers, Projecteo, Foldable.me and, until it was recently acquired, StickyGram.
