Ginger

Overall Score: 9
Lauren’s Ranking:
Usability: 2, Design: 5, Novelty: 4
Ginger is undoubtedly a critical ingredient in lots of my go-to dinner recipes. But that doesn’t mean I’m constantly texting out visual representations of my whole grocery list. That said, it is a clearly and effectively designed emoji that sort of becomes its own category in the existing series of food pictographs.

Contrasting Lauren’s opinion, I am not a ginger fan: She and I are truly the duality of man. I digress. I tried not to let my disdain for the root cloud my judgement, but I still ranked this fairly low. There’s just too many food emojis, but to its credit, it is very clearly ginger, and that needs to be celebrated.
