For Android’s 15th birthday, Google revisited the great cheeseburger emoji debate.

After 15 years of Android, Google’s blog post walking down memory lane didn’t do much for me beyond one note about 2017’s Android 8 (Oreo) launch and the big emoji problem that was so important that CEO Sundar Pichai got involved.

For some reason, the Android 8.0 emoji for cheeseburger and beer had some odd mistakes (the originals are on top, see if you can spot the differences) that were fixed a few months later with the release of Android 8.1.

A picture of two sets of emoji, showing that the original Android 8 “cheeseburger” emoji had the cheese under the burger until it was fixed, while the emoji for beer was half-empty with foam floating at the top for no reason.
