[ LAUGHTER ] THERE ARE A NUMBER OF NEW FOOD-RELATED EMOJIS, INCLUDING A BAGEL. THAT'S THE BAGEL EMOJI.

THERE'S NO MEATBALL EMOJI WHICH IS NUT. -- NUTS. THEY HAVE TWO EMOJIS FOR NUTS. IF YOU MAKE A LIST OF THE TOP 20, AT LEAST TOP 50 FOOD ITEMS, MEATBALL WOULD HAVE TO BE HONORED, RIGHT? YET THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF FOOD EMOJIS, NO MEATBALL. SO WE GOT IN TOUCH WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY DECIDE THIS KIND OF THING. THERE'S AN ORGANIZATION, FOR REAL, CALLED THE UNICODE EMOJI SUBCOMMITTEE, A REAL GROUP THAT THEY WILL DECIDE WHETHER THE EMOJI IS APPROVED FOR CONSIDERATION OR NOT.
