After a social media outcry, Apple has changed the design of its bagel emoji.

The controversy erupted when Apple put out an emoji depicting a rather plain-looking bagel without cream cheese or any other kind of spread.

The internet was not pleased.

Various social media users decried the bland appearance of the design.

Philadelphia Cream Cheese itself weighed in -- launching a twitter poll and a tongue-in-cheek Change.org petition.

Apple finally relented, releasing an updated emoji depicting a doughier bagel -- with cream cheese.

The company's emoji can now join the ranks of presumably acceptable bagel designs from Google, Microsoft, Samsung, and Twitter.

I thought it might be too vaginal looking

But nope... even stupider

Remember when Apple was going to change the peach emoji to look more like an actual peach, everyone got mad, and then they changed it back but made it look even more like a butt?

Good times.

I agree, it's pretty stupid to not have some kind of spread on your bagel.
