A little context

What the drooling emoji means

🤤 (drooling face, Emoji 3.0) means “I want that”: delicious food, a gorgeous car, a holiday photo, and in flirtatious chats a person. 😋 (face savoring food) is purely about taste — “yum”, “that was delicious” — and never flirtatious. Together they cover the whole range from a bakery window to a crush.
