Just so you know about my intensely scholarly efforts this evening: I wondered what the earliest known smiley face in the world is.

It is found on a 3, 700 year Hittite pot found in Turkey, with the classic two dots and curved line.

You are welcome! 🙂

@Thoreau ancestor of the kool aid man???

@chumblyface I thought the answer might be something like the 1960's, which just shows you how much I know about the history of smiley faces. ***literally nothing***

So yeah, apparently The Smiley Face has ancestral DNA. Who knew?
