The tech world let out a collective "Huh?" this week as Google revealed the nickname to its upcoming version of its Android operating system.

Breaking the pattern of generic desserts, Google has opted to go "full trademark" and dub Android 4.4 with the name of a candy owned by Nestle and licensed by Hershey in the United States.
