Let’s. Pick. Instagram. Filters.

Instagram filters… like a box of chocolates. You never know what to expect. (Unless you eat “chocolates” every day and know which ones are which.) But hey… let’s dive into this candy box. And see what we get.

Conspiracy Corner:
Is it just a coincidence that Instagram’s filter names sound like they’re out of a sci-fi movie? Or are they secretly coded messages from an alien civilization?
