Do you know that Android’s operating systems are named after sweet treats? They also follow the alphabetical order—the previous operating systems were named Cupcake, Donut, Éclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice-cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean respectively.
The name of Android’s latest operating system 4.4 was announced by Google’s senior vice president Sundar Pichai on Twitter yesterday: KitKat, after the beloved break-away chocolate bar.
To celebrate its launch, Google has teamed up with Nestle for a cross-promotional partnership—the green Android robot will soon be appearing on Kit Kat packaging and candy buyers will also stand a chance to win a Nexus 7 or Google Play credit.
This marketing partnership has also produced 50 million Android robot-shaped Kit Kat bars that will be available in 19 countries—needless to say, they are almost too cute to eat.
Remember to keep your eyes peeled for these limited edition chocolate bars the next time you are at the supermarket.
