What 🥨 pretzel means
The everyday meal set: 🍕, 🍔, 🌮 and 🍟 turn up in plans, cravings and restaurant reviews with their literal meaning intact. 🍿 has drifted furthest, now meaning you are watching an argument unfold rather than a film, and 🧂 doubles as calling someone bitter. Google's 2017 burger emoji put the cheese underneath the patty, drew enough complaints to become news, and was redesigned.
