Toronto's New Market Lets You Pay With Social Media Posts & It's Total 'Black Mirror' Vibes
Leave your wallet behind!

No, this isn't an episode of Black Mirror. You can actually pay for your products by posting on social media at this milk-inspired Toronto pop-up.
Pick-Me-Ups is Ontario's first "post-to-pay" pop-up. Created by MilkUP, the event is running from September 9 to October 2 and features a variety of local vendors selling limited-edition goods, including ice cream, glazed donuts, and jewelry.

All of the products are milk-inspired, so you can find cow print press-on nails, dairy illustrations, creamy desserts, and more.

There's no need to pull out your wallet when it comes time to pay. The pop-up only runs on social media currency, so all you need to do is post on TikTok or Instagram in order to get your goods.

Your post must include the hashtag #PMUxMilkUP and mention @MilkUPOntario. Only one post is required to check out, but of course, you're welcome to make as many as you wish.
