Editor’s note:On World Emoji Day, we’re taking the time to bid farewell to our old Android emoji, known fondly by fans as “blobs.” We’re rolling out a new set of emoji as part of Android O. They’re squishy and lovable—and designed for more consistent communication. Breaking up is hard to do, but we’ll find love in a blobless place.
Dear Blob,
I see it all now that you're gone.
We were both young when I first saw you… I said “it’s a love story, Blobby just say yes.”
Now, you lost that blobbin’ feeling. Blobversation has run dry—that’s what’s going on. Oh Blobbie, I couldn't have tried anymore. Blame it on the blob.
Once upon a time I was falling in blob, and now you’re just someblobby that I used to know.
It’s time we had the talk. Blob, bye.
Although we’ve come to the end of the blob, I want you to know you couldn't have loved me blobber. I’ve had the blob of my life… you’ll always be my Blobby.
Don’t you forget ablob me,
#BlobVoyage!
