Google Finally Switches Cheeseburger Emoji's Cheese Placement After Major Public Outcry
Roughly a month after seemingly the entire internet rallied against them, Google has finally changed the placement of the cheeseburger emoji's cheese in their Android mobile operating system.
The burger's cheese was formerly placed on top of the bottom bun, where many felt that it should not go.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai tweeted that the company would "drop everything else we are doing" and address the issue if people could agree on the correct way for the cheese to go.
Will drop everything else we are doing and address on Monday:) if folks can agree on the correct way to do this! https://t.co/dXRuZnX1Ag

There was a massive debate in the thread, with the majority vetoing cheese on the bottom.
Cheese can only exist above patty.

Cheese is always on top of burger patty. Unless it's a double cheeseburger then one piece of cheese is below and above a burger patty.

EVERYTHING goes on top of the burger. Nothing below.

However, there were a few who swam against the current and had the audacity to think that cheese belongs on the bottom.
When I make a burger I usually put cheese on bottom. So no problem

Cheese on bottom is superior. Cheese closer to tongue + seals in juices to prevent bottom bun soggage. Keep up the good work @sundarpichai. https://t.co/Rvf4fJex2Y
