What do people eat in the real world then? A quick glance and most of those many times in my life. I’ve never even been to SF or been on TV. In fact the only items I can say I’ve never consumed out of that list is Mate.

The thing is people consume lots of different things. It's hard to imagine emojis could cover a substantial part of them. So, why choose this and not that? To give an example, frutti di mare are underrepresented although they are very popular in many countries. OTOH there is a pregnant black man emoji, which likely represents something that has not materialized yet.
