There’s a company called Boomf and it is responsible for a new, deliciously fabulous idea. You can now print your [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-instagram-gadget) photos on marshmallows and eat them! So technically, you can take a bite out of your best friend, or yourself for that matter.

How it works is you pick nine of your favorite photos and for around $20, you get [sweet vanilla marshmallow squares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rice-krispies-treats-ice-cream) sent to you in a box. This can go one of two ways: it can be sweet and fun and memorable for you and your friends, or it can just be awkward. Either way, let’s just recognize that we’re all wondering, what on Earth will this innovative brand think of next?
