Browsing the web without emojis or stickers feels pretty dull these days. Just recently, I stumbled upon a cool new feature from Google Keyboard called “Emoji Kitchen.” If you want to check it out yourself, just search for it on Google—you can even find a web version Emoji Kitchen. (I’ll skip the details on how to use a VPN if you need one.)
This tool lets you unleash your creativity by combining two different emojis into one unique expression. It’s quite fun and can result in some hilarious mashups. For instance, you can merge a clown 🤡 with a turtle 🐢 to create a “Clown Turtle,” or mix a shark 🦈 with a bee 🐝 to get a “Shark Bee.”
In the past, creating these kinds of emoji combos was only possible through standalone apps, but now it’s integrated right into your smartphone’s keyboard. Plus, there’s a web version available at emojikitchen.cc. The combinations generated by this tool remind me of Pokemon Fusion—the process follows certain patterns, making it pretty predictable but still entertaining.
Every now and then, you get an unexpected laugh from the combinations. For example, check out this one that might be a hit among fans of funny hot dog memes:
I even tried searching for a mix of a girl emoji and a dog emoji, but couldn’t find a girl option in the combinations. Still, the freedom to create is quite impressive and offers endless possibilities.
