I went to school with people who were OBNOXIOUS about bagels.
Bloomington, IN has some GREAT bagel places. We’re talking DEE-FREAKING-LISH.
I’ve been to New York MULTIPLE times, ok? I’ve had many a bagel and lox. I LOVE lox on bagels. Extra capers and a slice of tomato. HEAVEN. And the ones I’ve had in Bloomington, Indiana are JUST as good as ones I’ve had in NYC.
But noooooo. The IU coasties (What we called East-Coasters who parked like idiots, cut in line, and acted like they owned the place.) REFUSED to even try them. They had their bagels SHIPPED FROM NEW YORK. I’m not even kidding. Then they would SCOOP THEM to “cut calories.” (As in… scoop all the bread out and eat a bagel crust shell filled with cream cheese. WHAT’S THE DAMN POINT?! OMG.)
What I’m getting at is that I’m FULLY AWARE of how EXTRA people can be about bagels.
Apple recently released a MUCH ANTICIPATED bagel emoji… and a bunch of people LOST THEIR DAMN MINDS.
I’m organizing a march in New York City against Apple’s just-revealed bagel emoji, which comes out with the next iOS update. It looks like something you get from a cardboard box in the freezer section at Walmart. This insult will not stand. pic.twitter.com/Z44YFBuUlU

That’s not a bagel. That’s a donut with bagel skin

SCHMEAR IS EXTRA, YA LUNATICS.
Anyway… Apple apparently got tired of their b*tching, ‘cuz:
After complaints, Apple has replaced its bagel emoji with a new design that includes cream cheese https://t.co/9lKMCf3aLa pic.twitter.com/NSiwZ4Idx7

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!
(No – no they’re not – these people are NEVER happy.)
For the record, this battle is won, but the war is not over:
