Would you like some mayonnaise on that?


Can New Yorkers Get A Better Bagel Emoji Over Here?

Meh, Lenders frozen junk

Soon, your iPhone will have 70 new emojis, and amongst them will be the glorious Bagel. Finally, no more typing the word "bagel" ever again. However, as all bagels were not created equal, there was a lot of room for them to screw this one up, and, well... we got Lender's-ed.

This bagel has a shiny coating very similar to a Lender's, the frozen bagel that has, for decades, tried to pose as an authentic New York City bagel in suburban grocery store freezer sections nationwide.

At the very least, this thing needs to be toasted. And then set on fire and shipped back to Ohio.

Even Pat Kiernan, noted Canadian, is mad.

You call this factory-produced bagel an emoji that stands for all bagels??? New Yorkers demand more. https://t.co/kvo6THEjNO

And where's the cream cheese? The lox? The butter? Who eats a dry bagel? This may fly in the Omaha airport Southwest terminal, but New Yorkers won't stand for it.

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

HA!

that bagel is for people afflicted with very serious cases of whiteness..

I dont even eat those if Im stuck in the country and it's the only stuff they have...in the damn freezer.

if i do..it's cause they ran out of bread.

Them's some seriously afflicted, clean ass bagels.

Credibility just went out the window :facepalm:

Yeah, Lenders' bagels are seriously bad.

But, just try finding a good bagel west of the Hudson.

Einstein, Brueggers, ... aspire to mediocrity. And they put the only good bagel place in Pittsburgh out of business.

Wegman's and the Ithaca Bakery (aka Collegetown Bagels) make very, very fine bagels.

Einstein and Brueggers are the concentrated orange juice of bagels. They're great, if you've never had a real bagel (fresh OJ).

[mrbigstuff]

Brueggers rosemary and olive oil bagel...while maybe not traditional, is the bomb! With some lox (and they have decent lox)...mmmm

Come to Chicago, we have some good bagels..not everywhere..but, they're here.

Most places, when you order a bagel, you get a round piece of bread with a hole in the middle. Not a bagel.

I'm imagining a selection of bagels of various levels of toasting and composition (plain/sesame/egg/cinnamon raisin/everything, and culminating in pumpernickel) not unlike...
