Facebook’s Fancy Animations Emoji

After couple of failed Google searches and some digging with the Developer Tool, it turned out that I had accidentally triggered one of Facebook’s “Text Delight” features. I had seen the “congrats” animation before, but it looks like there are three “secret” animations in total. Here they are, along with the list of keywords that activate them.
