Sundar Pichai keeps his word, does Twitterdom (and others) a good deed by fixing burger emoji

Almost a month after a virtual war broke out over which lies first – the cheese or the patty – the Google CEO has delivered, with the cheese slice on top. The new burger design sees the cheese moved from its previous location at the bottom of the hamburger emoji to place the cheese on top of the burger patty. This change applies to the forthcoming Android 8.1 release.

Emojipedia broke the news update on Twitter, after the 44-year-old tech tycoon had delivered his promise.

The debate began in October when Thomas Baekdal, founder of Baekdal Media, sought a Twitter discussion on how the placement of cheese in the "burger emoji" differed on Google and iOS .

"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," Baekdal tweeted along with the pictures of the different emojis.

Other significant changes include no-froth beer mugs. Beer and beers no longer have froth appearing at the top of a half-poured stein of beer.
