Flashfood arrived in Ohio back in 2016. There are many Ohioans that still don't know it exist, including myself.
I was shopping in the Meijer on Colonel Glenn Hwy, in Fairborn, Ohio. I noticed people shopping the FlashFood refrigerator. I asked an employee exactly what it was and how does it work. She walked me through the procedure for shopping. It looks pretty simple.
That night I went home and typed in Flashfood on YouTube, and to my amazement YouTubers had been reviewing this app for over a year. I've definitely been out of the loop!
