You can now tweet a 🍕 emoji to Domino's in order to initiate a pizza transaction.
Emoji use differs by country. "Canadians lead the charge in their use of money, violence, sports-related, raunchy, and even the poop emoji," says SwiftKey's chief marketing officer, Joe Braidwood.
Americans are second behind Canada in their love of violent emojis, such as guns.
But one thing Americans also really, really love is pizza.
"Pizza was one of the most frequently used [emojis] in the U.S., as well as the chicken drumstick ... and I think it shows you that, versus other nations, you guys have particular food habits," Braidwood says.

Using Firefox 37, everything is visible as expected. Those who cannot see it upgrade to a browser that supports emoji.

IE renders the emoji but they are so damn small I cant tell what they are. Is that a drill? I assume that is an eggplant from the references but it is an underlined hyperlink that looks like a cruise ship coming at me. Monochrome 12 pixel tall pictures are crap.

Why? Friends don't let friends use FF. (aside--is Firefox only up to version 37? When I quit using them over daily updates slowing down my work, I was sure they'd be up to V.5000.00 by now.)
