Apple, what do you have against tacos?
I know this seems ridiculous, but after an iMessage
conversation, and the need to use a taco emoticon, I am seriously questioning
my iPhones beliefs.
Why a taco, you’re asking? I was trying to be funny [side
note: I always think I’m funny] and answer my boyfriends question of “Have you
done any writing yet” with a “Nooo… and I don’t wanna taco 'bout it,” only to
come to the realization that this would be a perfect place to put a taco
emoticon. I’m not an avid emoticon user, in fact I hardly venture outside my
standard five that I use all the time. But hey, it was a Wednesday night and I
was feeling adventurous. So I went searching. And searching. When I came to the
two and a half pages of food emoticon options, what I found was disappointing. There
were roughly eight images having to do with sushi and Asian cuisine, several to
do with fast food, lots of desserts and the weirdest and most redundant fruits and vegetables.Why
would I ever need to use an eggplant, or better yet, the half eaten
eggplant that sits to the left of it. You give us the option of
selecting a red
or green apple, and two different meats with bones sticking out of it;
one
shaped like a chickens drumstick, and one like a square drumstick (also
questionable). I guess they're there for those dire situations when your friends really need to know you had a red apple, and not a
green one. In that case, what about a yellow apple – Golden Delicious
apples
still exist you know. And what about your logo, a white apple, to represent your
company? This isn't very good cross promotion on your part. You even
have
a cup of green tea, and a sake container complete with its shot glass.
Yet, no
taco.
