If you have been using smartphones and have internet, chances are you might have heard of Instagram, a popular photo sharing service/community where people from around the world gather to share photos of their food (amongst other things). While for the most part Instagram filters help to cover up bad photography and bad lighting/exposure, there are some pretty amazing photos out there and we have seen instances where one can even print their Instagram photo, and not just as a regular photo, but even in chocolate form as well! Well if you’re looking for more edible Instagram prints, Boomf is a company you might be interested in checking out.
Based in the UK, the company will basically print your Instagram photos for you but on marshmallows, meaning not only can you take a photo of your photo, but you can eat it as well, and then print that if you wanted! Boomf is currently charging about $19 for a box of nine marshmallows which is admittedly pretty pricey for candy, but hey if anything we think this makes for a great present or a great door gift for people coming to your birthday/wedding/etc. For more information just hit up Boomf’s website for the details! Now onto the question we never we’d ask, but are your photos as tasty as they look?

Get ready to hold a little vom down in your throat. These carpet-looking thingamajigs are actually cheese made with human bacteria, such as the kind you’d find in your belly button or in your nose or in your salty tears or on your skin or on your toe. It’s beyond gross and, if you really really think about it, makes the very idea of cheese seem disgusting.

If you were Queen Tiye of Egypt’s parents you wouldn’t want to go to the Otherworld just with some bread and beer and wine and jewelry. You would like to eat a good ribeye beef steak, prepared with a mixture of fat, beeswax, and Pistacia resin.

It’s annoying and wasteful at the same time to open your fridge and see spoiling food and produce. Sometimes you just don’t notice when something is spoiling until they’re already past the expiration date. Other times, you’re just too busy to check and find that it’s beyond edible when you do.
Aiming to lessen the amount of food that’s thrown away because of this is the conceptual QR Fridge Magnet.
The QR Fridge Magnet is an interactive magnet that would offer a QR code scanning feature. It’s designed to keep track of food’s expiry or spoilage dates and provides information on the shelf life of food as well. After scanning, the magnet is meant to be tacked onto the fridge.
As the days pass, the magnet would change in color to provide a visual representation of the level of freshness of the food. Green indicates that the food is still fresh, while red means that the food has spoiled and should no longer be consumed.
The Fridge Magnet was designed by Hu Yaxing, Chen Zhipeng, Liao Haibo, and Tang Yigang and is a 2013 Red Dot Design Award winner.
