PRAISE BE TO TACO.

Our long, national nightmare is over. After months and months and months of waiting, rumors, more waiting and several strongly-worded letters to the President of the United States, the taco emoji is finally, finally here. For real this time, we promise.

The Unicode Consortium has released 37 new emojis as part of its 8.0 update on Wednesday, and the number one most requested emoji is part of the update. Guys, let that thought sink in. The taco emoji will soon be part of your keyboard and you can spam the crap out of your friends. We don't know about you all, but we're going to be communicating with nothing but the taco emoji for the next 4 days. Sorry, loved ones!

But the good news does not stop there. The update also includes the burrito emoji, the hot dog emoji, a cheese wedge emoji and a face with rolling eyes. So now you can ask someone to bring you a taco and a burrito and if they give you lip you can send them the rolling eyes emoji. You won't even have to speak to another human anymore! The emojis will do the work for you.

Along with the new emojis, the update also includes five emoji modifiers, which is how you change the skin tone of your emoji people.

Here is the full list of emojis being added today:

•Bottle With Popping Cork
•Burrito

You can check out photos of the new emojis at Emojipedia's website. But who has time for that right now when there are taco emojis to send?! And if you go on Twitter right now, you would think that getting the taco emoji is the best thing to ever happen to the human race since Zac Efron decided to get super buff and shirtless for his movies.

Now just give us the bacon emoji and we promise to never ask for anything else ever again. (Until we think of another emoji we're missing).
