Facebook has just introduced a new status box feature for its US-based users, and things are bound to get a little more emotional.

The new option places an emoticon list just to the right where the photo and check-in options are in the Facebook status box. Hit the smiley face icon, and you’ll get a ton of icons that cover eating, drinking, watching and of course, feeling. Stuffing popcorn in your face and want to announce it to the world? There's an emoticon for that. Milk? They got one for that, too. All the classic emoticons are there, like the frowning sad face, smiling happy face, and another face that Facebook has labeled “guilty.” Try to keep the latter to a minimum, fellas.

If you don’t see the new emoticon list yet, don’t worry, they’ve only started updating the feature this morning.
