[QUOTE=Mooe94;42066881]there can only be one kitkat[/QUOTE] You can always get wrong: [IMG]http://www.dogandcompany.it/dati/immagini/kitekat-manvitcar-100g_IM89893.jpg[/IMG] Instead of a Development Kit you get a Development Kitten.

[I]Give me a break[/I] Google! If the next Nexus phone doesn't ship with a complementary kitkat bar I will be disappointed.

[QUOTE=smurfy;42066571]Heresy[/QUOTE] They sell Nestle branded ones at The World Market
[QUOTE=Demache;42066561]Going by the packaging on the Android.com website, it would be the Hershey one. Which makes sense, since Hershey makes them here.

I haven't had a kit kat in ages and this thread has made me really want to eat one.
[QUOTE=NiandraLades;42070292]I haven't had a kit kat in ages and this thread has made me really want to eat one.[/QUOTE] I bought a king size today
[QUOTE=ironman17;42065731]So after KitKat, we'll get Lollipop, then maybe Minstrels or Maltesers,[/QUOTE] Except they don't call them Maltesers in the US so they probably wouldn't call it that. [editline]4th September 2013[/editline] Did they have names before? Like for A and B?
I was at the store this morning and I bought a KitKat.. then I come back from work to read this. COINCIDENCE OR?
[QUOTE=Smoot;42065702]Why would they not use Key Lime Pie :([/QUOTE] I honestly thought it [I]was[/I] going to be Key Lime Pie.
[QUOTE=SuperHoboMan;42070636]I honestly thought it [I]was[/I] going to be Key Lime Pie.[/QUOTE] Everybody did
[QUOTE=Mr_Sun;42070568]Except they don't call them Maltesers in the US so they probably wouldn't call it that. [editline]4th September 2013[/editline] Did they have names before? Like for A and B?[/QUOTE] The BBC article says that they contacted Nestle's UK press office which to me suggests it was someone at Google in the UK so it could happen. Also I don't think 1 and 2 were ever publicly released.
[QUOTE=Jsm;42065659]Its insane when you think about it that 1/7th of the entire worlds population has activated an Android phone. I know 1bn activations isn’t 1bn individual people but it is still a little crazy.[/QUOTE] I activated android like 50 times. Legit.
I'm responsible for at least ten of those activations alone HTC G1 (Cupcake-Donut) Motorola Droid (Eclair-Gingerbread) Motorola Droid 2 (Gingerbread-Ice Cream Sandwich) Motorola Droid 3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Motorola Droid Bionic (Ice Cream Sandwich-Jelly Bean 4.1) Samsung Droid Charge (Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0) Samsung Galaxy S2 (Gingerbread-Jellybean 4.1) Samsung Galaxy Note (Gingerbread-Jellybean 4.1) Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Ice Cream Sandwich-Jellybean 4.3) Asus Nexus 7 (Ice Cream Sandwich-Jellybean 4.3) LG Nexus 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich-Jellybean 4.3) soon to be Nexus 5 (KitKat) [img]http://cdn.gottabemobile.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Screen-Shot-2013-09-03-at-3.50.47-PM.png[/img] [editline]3rd September 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=eirexe;42070791]I activated android like 50 times.

i hope kit kat crispys have the same promo. i like them more than regular kitkat [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/aOhmL6w.png[/IMG]
This seems really strange to me, even moreso that there wasn't any money changing hands, so it's a weird marketing/sponsorship deal. [QUOTE=Zeke129;42070171]Where were applesauce and bubblegum though Hurry up and release android 1.4 and 1.3, google[/QUOTE] Alpha and Beta?
[QUOTE=ah!panic;42065658][img]http://www.teckdiary.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/image_thumb19.png[/img] There's no generic candy name (I can't think of any) starting with the letter K, so Google makes a partnership with another company so it doesn't have to break the sequence of names on Android versions. KitKat got a deal because its starts with the letter K. Two more versions and we'll get Android Nutella![/QUOTE] Key Lime Pie
[QUOTE=Zeke129;42070171]Where were applesauce and bubblegum though Hurry up and release android 1.4 and 1.3, google[/QUOTE] AFAIK Google bought Android after these releases, and those releases were initial builds from when Android Inc. Owned it.
