Instead of using words to describe each item, Pizza Hut is replacing it with emojis. The company created the "emojified" menus to celebrate '[World Emoji Day](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubble-gum-emoji).' The design of the menu uses neon signs as its inspiration giving it a old-school feel while still incorporating new-school emojis. The eye-catching menu provides for some entertainment as customers will need to decipher the food items based on the emojis that are strung together as a description and then order it in the "language of emojis". The idea brings an element of fun to the [family-friendly restaurant](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-pan-pizza-hut) and uses its design to connect with both parents and their children.
