Finding the next big thing when it comes to social media can be the secret to huge revenues. Instagram was one of those companies that has seemingly found one of the secrets. Being able to send photos back and forth was the first step. Perhaps finding a way to send videos quickly and easily was the next. Snapchat started off as a relatively simple mobile messaging application. Now its becoming bigger than its developers could have hoped. So what comes after video chat messaging? How about a step in a completely different direction?
Boomf is a brand new company out of the UK that has found a way to let people put their favorite Instagram photo on a marshmallow. Just in time for the Holiday season, the company has come up with a pretty interesting way to make presents for the people who are special to you. Instagram has managed to reach as many people as possible thanks to its recent launching of a Windows Phone application.
Boomf is allowing you to take those favorite Instagram photographs and put them on a tasty desert. Imagine being able to give your grandma a set of marshmallows that have you sitting on Santa’s lap on them for Christmas. There are all kinds of different pictures to choose from that will fit nicely on these little confections. For just $2 a marshmallow, you can order up these delights and they will be delivered right to your doorstep.
You can actually get a box of nine, for about $18 per carton. The company admits that the pictures aren’t going to be high definition or perfectly recreated, but it is working with something that was never really meant to become edible art. Using the Boomf service, you can show someone you like them, by sending them a marshmallow with their or your face on it. That’s an interesting blending of social media and foodies.
