Yesterday the launch of Unicode 8.0 bought us 37 brand new emojis to brighten our texting, tweeting and regram-ing lives, including THE TACO!
You wouldn't think an awful lot of thought of consideration goes into the teeny tiny emoticons, so small you can barely tell what half of the actually are, right? Wrong.
Taco Bell actually started a Change.org petition to give that last persuasive shove to Unicode after the taco was added to a list of possible emoji candidates earlier this year. The petition included ‘America wants a taco emoji. America needs a taco emoji. Help us.’ and received over 32,000 supporters. So there you have it, a taco emoji to accompany your #foodie Instagram on your next visit to Taco Bell. Doesn’t that feel better?
Other new emojis include the much requested lion-face, popcorn, unicorn-face and a cheese wedge. You can carry on with your lives now.
