KitKats aren't a dessert item, they're a cheap brand of candy people buy at gas stations or at the grocery store checkout line either because they want some no-thrills candy to snack on, or because their kids won't shut up. If given the choice between a delicious eclair, or the frozen yogurt, and a plain old package of KitKats, I would choose eclair or the froyo. Quite a few people probably would too. This is because KitKats are inferior. Some people will even add crumpled KitKats to their frozen yogurt much in the same way they might add sprinkles. Anyway, you guys get what I'm saying. I basically think it was a bad idea to name the latest version of android "KitKat". Key Lime Pie is classier.

You could apply the same criticism to Jellybean. Or, for that matter, Ice Cream Sandwich. (Ice cream is a dessert, but ICS can only be interpreted as cheap prepackaged food.)

  I don't know, I used to go out of my way to buy those Jelly Belly brand Jellybeans, but I do agree that ice cream sandwichs and for that matter donuts are a cheap food, kinda realized that while I was thinking about the post. Still, KitKats really stood out to me as just less wholesome compared to the other dessert items Google has chosen for android versions, if that makes any sense. I've had some fun experiences with trying out weird flavors of jelly beans, or eating ice cream sandwiches during the summer. As for donuts, I got the wild idea a few years back to to be an organic farmer, to the point where I dropped out of school and actually worked as a sort of vegetable grower/manager for a while. If I was running behind and didn't have time to cook, I would visit any one of the locally-owned donut shops, occasionally run by some owner of Czech heritage (something about Czechs and really good pastries), and pick something up. So despite donuts being ridiculously unhealthy, they bring back interesting feelings. KitKats, they don't quite have that emotional effect on me.

You do realize that if current trends continue, there will be Android KitKat phones on sale right next to or behind the gas station / convenience store counters with the chocolate Kit Kats, right? And that this has been an explicit goal of Google's since the beginning?
