New version of Android really going to be called Kit Kat?

Avatar of Harry Campbell Harry Campbell September 4, 2013

Google is all about ads. And it just made about the biggest advertising move possible in Android’s tooth-rotting naming scheme: The latest version of the mobile OS is not going to be called Key Lime Pie, as expected, but KitKat.

Yep. As in the chocolatey, wafery KitKat® bar.

John Lagerling, director of Android global partnerships, told the BBC that the chocolate-coated naming choice was not a “money-changing-hands kind of deal.” Apparently Google loves KitKats, and KitKat loves Google. As a Google spokesperson told BuzzFeed, “KitKat has been a favorite candy among the engineering team for some time, so for the K release, we asked if they’d be willing to lend the iconic candy bar to its name.”
