The Burger Emoji Debate erupted in 2017 when Twitter users noticed a fundamental design flaw in Google's cheeseburger emoji: the cheese was placed directly beneath the meat patty, touching the bottom bun. This observation sparked a massive viral discussion regarding the 'correct' way to stack a burger, contrasting Google's design with Apple's more traditional top-placed cheese. The debate became so significant that Google CEO Sundar Pichai jokingly promised to 'drop everything' to fix the icon. Today, the meme serves as a classic example of how minor design choices can trigger intense internet discourse, and it is frequently used to mock tech company blunders or pedantic food arguments.
