This takes silly version names to a whole new level.
I guess it makes sense for an ad company to sell naming rights to some extent, but I can't think of another occurrence of google mixing it's branding like this before. Google historically set themselves apart by keeping ads somewhat separate.
- corresation 13y agoIt isn't branding, though. These are effectively code names, and outside of humorous shortcuts they don't really matter. It is a funny name...and I do have to wonder whether they actually got paid for this.

- ianstallings 13y agoMore likely is someone chose this name, that conveniently starts with a K, and then they sought out the owners of KitKat to make sure they were okay with it. I'm sure they were, free advertising.
