We're not sure exactly how serious author and media analyst Thomas Baekdal was when he called for a discussion on the burger emoji, but a discussion is what he got. And much to Twitter's amusement, the discussion even got Google boss Sundar Pichai involved.
Here's what happened.
Roughly 14 hours before writing this, Mr Baekdal tweeted a screenshot of the burger emoji as displayed by Google and Apple, writing: "I think we need to have a discussion about how Google's burger emoji is placing the cheese underneath the burger, while Apple puts it on top."
Seems innocuous enough, right?
Except it was retweeted over 1,000 times and generated quite the debate on Twitter:
Mr Baekdal's tweet even managed to elicit a response from Mr Pichai, who joked he would drop "everything" to discuss this most important matter at work on Monday. Except the offer came with a caveat.
Mr Pichai's witty response - 'liked' over 4,400 times and retweeted over 1,800 times - had many laughing out loud:
Meanwhile, a number of thrilled desi Twitterati usurped the burger emoji discussion to call for a vada pav emoji, because, priorities!
Hungry, kya?
