The cheese on Google's version of the cheeseburger emoji is in the WRONG PLACE and that is problematic:

Responding to criticism about the placement of cheese on Google's version of the cheeseburger emoji, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said that he would take a look at the issue immediately. "Will drop everything else we are doing and address on Monday :) if folks can agree on the correct way to do this!" Pichai tweeted.

Pichai was responding to author Thomas Baekdal, who pointed out the difference in cheese placement between Apple's and Google's cheeseburger emojis. "I think we need to have a discussion about how Google's burger emoji is placing the cheese underneath the burger, which Apple puts on top," Baekdal tweeted.

The tweet ignited a debate about where the different ingredients of a cheeseburger belong. Among all the different cheeseburger emoji variants offered by various tech companies, Google's is the only version to place the cheese below the meat, according to images of cheeseburger emojis from Apple, Google, Samsung, Facebook and others, as seen on Emojipedia. It's generally accepted that cheeseburger cheese should be placed directly on the meat patty for optimal melting.

    Need to understand there are 3 "cheese burgers"

    First the patty melt. The cheese is placed on top of meat WHILE it is being cooked, so the cheese is MELTED to the patty.
    Second the grilled cheese. The cheese is MELTED to the bread while toasting on the grill. The patty is added after the process while stacking.
    Third the cheese burger. This is the lazy method - cook meat and toss on american cheese (flavoured oil with yellow color) hope meat is hot enough to melt this low temperature "cheese".

    Give me the first one any day. With good hard slow melt cheese.
    Give me the second on special days, where cheese bread (twice the cheese to boot) then it cold and tomato soup on the side.
    The third leave poor horse along.
