Believe it or not, emojis have only been commonly used for around 10 years.
The next phenomenon may be . . . AUDIBLE EMOJIS on PHONE CALLS.
Word has it Google has started rolling out "audio emoji" to Google Phone app users. There are SIX to start: Clapping . . . Laughing . . . Party . . . Crying . . . the Drum . . . and, of course, the Poop emoji.
So for example, Clapping plays a brief applause sound effect that both people hear. The Crying emoji plays a trombone noise . . . the Drum gives the classic post-joke Ba-Dum Tsss . . . and the Poop emoji plays a fart noise.

A 51-year-old Catholic priest in Pennsylvania named Lawrence Kozak allegedly used a church credit card to spend over $40,000 on "power-ups" in mobile games like "Mario Kart Tour" and "Candy Crush".
And it wasn't just one REALLY wild frenzy . . . the charges have spanned three years.
According to police, an accountant at the church discovered "an astronomical amount of Apple transactions" on the church's credit card statements.
When the police first talked to Lawrence, he admitted to having a mobile game addiction . . . and denied that he INTENTIONALLY used the church's funds.
He later said it's possible he had accidentally used church funds to buy power-ups, saying he wasn't a "details guy," and that he was sorry he had "let it get to this point."

Claussen is selling pickle-flavored wine spritzers ahead of summer. You can pre-order a pack of eight on SpritzSociety.com for $50.
They came up with the idea as an April Fools' Day joke, but then it turned out people actually wanted more pickle-flavored drink options.
It's 6% alcohol, which is like a beer or hard seltzer. Last year's version came in 8.4-ounce cans, and they've upped it to 12 ounces this time. So you won't blow through all that pickley goodness so fast this time.
If you pre-order now, you'll get them just in time for the start of summer. They say they'll ship in four to six weeks.

In a new poll, people were asked about the best home compliments, and most people said that the way a home SMELLS is even more important than how it LOOKS. And 43% said they'd love to hear that their home smells good.
39% of people say they consider smells while they're preparing their home for a guest. 57% of them say they use air fresheners . . . 48% light candles . . . and 19% use diffusers.
Most people are looking for a common fragrance, like "fresh laundry" . . . "ocean breeze" . . . "lavender" . . . "vanilla" . . . and "lemon or citrus."
Others want to have a "signature smell" for their home, like "fresh flowers" . . . "strawberries and bananas" . . . "after the rain" . . . and "bread baking." But only 12% want the smell of their home to come off as "unique."
