What 🥤 means from a girl or a guy
Who sent the cup with straw and what came before it change the reading more than the emoji itself does.
09 — Around the world
What 🥤 means in other countries
A generic soft-drink cup that reads as fast food, a study break, or just staying hydrated — no real cultural weight attached.
Reads as a soda run or drive-through order, the default “grabbing a drink” icon.
Casual enough to look like you’re signaling a break rather than discussing the task at hand.
Before you send it: Safe in any thread; only skip it in very formal writing where food emoji generally feel off.

13 — History
Where the 🥤 Cup with Straw emoji came from
It arrived with the 5.0 release of the standard, which dates the cup with straw to 2017.
Same character every time — U+1F964 never changed. Only the drawing did, and only because each vendor redraws its own set. Someone on an older phone still sees the older picture.
Cup with Straw was approved as U+1F964 and shipped in Emoji 5.0 (2017). Phones usually get new artwork about a year after approval, in a system update.
Every vendor keeps its own artwork, so 🥤 is redrawn by Apple, Google, Twitter / X, Facebook, OpenMoji, Samsung, Microsoft, WhatsApp, JoyPixels. The character you send never changes — only the picture does.
