It can also be used to express the longing for something wonderful, such as the yearning for a beautiful scenery, with a psychological state of wanting to immerse oneself in it.
In Western culture, 🤤 is often used to show the love and craving for food, especially typical Western delicacies such as hamburgers and pizzas.

Cross-Cultural Usage Tips
When used across cultures, attention should be paid to the differences in the understanding of the emotional intensity expressed by this emoji in different cultures. In more conservative cultural environments, avoid over - using it to prevent being considered too frivolous or impolite. In multicultural exchanges, it is more common when expressing love for food or cultural features, but be cautious when it comes to expressing emotions towards people and follow local social norms.
It can be used when friends chat and discuss delicious food, such as sharing newly - discovered delicious restaurants or exchanging cooking experiences. It is also suitable for use in relaxed social groups when everyone shares the wonderful things in their travel experiences with each other, for example, talking about local special snacks or charming scenery, etc. It can also be used in star - chasing social circles to express admiration for the charm of idols.
In the workplace, it can be used if it is in industries related to catering and gourmet food, such as when restaurant employees communicate about special dishes internally and when food blogger teams plan content. In some creative workplaces, such as when advertising planners discuss proposals with food as the theme, it may be appropriately used to express creative concepts, but it is not suitable for use in most serious and formal work communications.
