Whether it’s flirting with a crush or keeping in touch with loved ones, adding flavour to our messages through a favourite emoji has become second nature. But as commonplace as emojis are across generations, Simply Spiked found we don’t all interpret them the same way. From Gen Zs to seniors, the beverage brand recently surveyed texters across the country and found that only 65% of Canadians 44+ said they were aware of double entendres when using emojis. To launch their new Peach variety pack, Simply Spiked emphasises that context matters with cheeky emojis like the peach. Learn how to ‘Peach Responsibly’ through this video, and with the top texting tips from Simply Spiked Peach, below. —Vita Daily
Emoji Use
You may be innocently texting about produce, but keep in mind that not everyone is aware of the double entendre of emojis. Be extra careful with emojis like the peach and eggplant, as the survey commissioned by Simply Spiked Peach found that half of Canadians ages 60+ don’t recognize its double entendre.
Know your Audience
If you’re texting a grandparent, better to stick to words. That way, you’ll avoid an awkward conversation, as 31% of Canadians ages 19-34 have had to explain what an emoji means to an older person in their life. Or arguably more embarrassing, you could find yourself accidentally sending an emoji to a Gen Z that’s so last month’s TikTok trends.
