The history of 🧃

First defined as emoji

- Before the keyboard
Its visual roots
Added in 2019, a small carton with a straw in the top. It filled a gap: plenty of drinks were encoded, but not the one every school lunch box had.
- Today
How its use evolved
Kids' lunches, juice and the internet use of juice for energy or clout.
Dates follow Unicode’s official Emoji Versions chart. Versions before Emoji 1.0 are labelled retrospectively. See the history of emoji.

When to use it
Using 🧃 clearly
Kids' lunches, juice and the internet use of juice for energy or clout. It lands as juice emoji or juice box emoji when the rest of the message supports that reading, and it is the surrounding words that do the deciding — so in a sensitive, professional or cross-cultural conversation, say the thing outright as well.
