'Birthday Cake Emoji' Named Canada's Favourite Food Emoji

Chef’s Plate surveyed 1,003 Canadians between July 11 and 19, and they revealed Canada’s favourite food emoji of 2022. The number one spot went to the birthday cake emoji, with 22% of Canadians saying they used it the most. In second place, the famous eggplant emoji.

According to the website:

“Our survey highlighted that men use less food emojis than women. In fact, almost half of men surveyed (49%) said that they never used food emojis, compared to only 35% of women. Our survey data revealed that the birthday cake emoji was the most frequently used food emoji of them all, with 22% of Canadians surveyed saying they use this emoji most often. The birthday cake is used most frequently by those in the 55+ age group, with almost a quarter (24%) of those surveyed in this age bracket saying it is their most used food emoji. On the other hand, the eggplant emoji is frequently used by Gen Zs, with 24% of 18-24 year olds claiming that this is their most used food emoji. This could possibly highlight a generational difference in the reason people use emojis; some to convey meaning and others to convey humour and light-hearted insinuations.”
