They're Chinese?  No, I think 'cause it's a "happy" color . . .yeah, happy. . .that's it.  Smilies are smiling, which means they're happy, so they're in a happy color!

It does?  like police tape!  That's yellow . . .but I DO think it's happy because yellow houses sell better and selling houses makes you happy!

I had jaundice when I was a baby.
...but anyway...

Maybe they're all relatives of the Wal-Mart Smilie.
In any event, none compare to the grin from the VCMB.  :lol:

The modern smilie is a descendant of the "Have A Nice Day" logo that first appeared in the 1970s.  The colour yellow represents the sun, the almost universal symbol for "day". :D
