Hey Moji Maniacs!
Today's Emoji-A-Day post is lifting up two special occasions - National Kite-Flying Day and Fat Thursday! And as usual, we are combining them to create a more mojified and magical experience - just for you! 🪄
Let's Get the Party Started! 🥳
Think of a field of you and your people gathered, chatting and laughing, full of colorful kites dancing in the wind. In one hand, a warm, fluffy pączki sits, ready to melt in your mouth, while the other holds the string guiding your kite towards the bright blue sky. The air holds a sweetness of fresh cut grass and blends with the thrill of people, flight and the music blasting from speakers blasting the Spotify custom playlist, creating a sensory symphony that celebrates life's simple joys. 🎉
Life. Is. Good. 😎
Here's why kites and Fat Thursday are a match made in Moji heaven:
- Soaring Dreams - Let your imagination soar, like a dream, with a unique kite design inspired by Fat Thursday's rich flavors and textures. 🌈
- Global Unity - Kites originated in China and have connected cultures for centuries. Celebrate this shared heritage by flying a kite and indulging in a global treat like a pączki 🪁🍩🫓
- Science & Indulgence - Don't underestimate the science behind a kite! Remember Benjamin Franklin's experiment? Be curious, explore and just have fun. 🥼 🥳
-
Creative Inspiration - Decorate your kite with sprinkles, ribbons, or even edible glitter, making it a personal masterpiece. Enjoy your artistry! 👩🎨👨🎨

- Fat Thursday Feast - Paczki, the traditional Polish doughnut enjoyed on Fat Thursday, comes in all sorts of flavors like prune, rose, and even bacon! 🌹🥓
