Android is the operating system that powers over 1 billion smartphones and tablets. Since these devices make our lives so sweet, each Android version is named after a dessert: Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, and Jelly Bean. As everybody finds it difficult to stay away from chocolate we decided to name the next version of Android after one of our favorite chocolate treats, Kitkat®!

I feel the Android versions are named to something what you come across (Of course in US and not in INDIA) at least in a day and seems to be an innovative idea to use the common sense in marketing.
So here KitKat is a chocolate which may be more popular than Key lime pie.
