I like [biscuit], any chance of an [apple]?

[Isabeller]

Is this too silly? Would it appear sarcastic? What about [banana] or [carrot]? I just know I need more fruit and veg and thought there might be some subliminal health benefit to a fruiticon.

Or should I stick with edible and be grateful?

In what context would you use that?

Would it be interchangeable with [mac] [iphone] and [ipad]?

I would like please. Many is the time I've wanted to give someone chocolate, but there's only flowers, wine or tea/coffee to offer them.

Indeed Tee would it just sit there in the bowl looking healthy....

Unless it were a [pear] emotion, which would sit there in the fruit bowl looking all healthy but rock solid and inedible, then as soon as you leave the room TURN TURN TURN and its inedible mush... Not sure how you'd capture that with a little pixely picture though

More importantly would that count towards your five a day? So if I went [apple] [apple] [apple] [apple] [apple] I could go back to scoffing [biscuits] without feeling guilty?

< slowly comes round after being knocked out by flying fruit >

Could we have a [hardhat] emoticon? It would help to protect us from flying fruit and those in the AIBU threads who get a bit carried away with their flaming and personal attacks

Come on this is Mumsnet, we can do better than an apple, guava anyone?

Yars Kate, or Papaya; as in 'Little (insert ridiculous name Ptolemy here) simply can't abide apples but he simply adores Papaya!'

Oh and if we're asking for emoticons can I ask for an emoticon emoticon - so we can just use it and say 'oh that was a chocolate emoticon, that one was a g and t emoticon... Then we wouldn't have to bother with a looong list of useless boring emoticons.
