Today is National Dessert Day. Did you know that? I certainly didn’t. Sundar Pichai did and he tweeted out a video that just recently made its debut on the Android YouTube channel. The video isn’t anything spectacular, but it is a fun little audition waiting room style shoot that shows various people in various dessert costumes that all start with “L”.
The curious video offers up titles like Lemon Meringue Pie, Lava Cake, Lady Finger and Lemon Drop. The next iteration of Android doesn’t have a publicly known name just yet. Through various leaks and chatter it would seem that Lollipop is most likely at this point. Google has been known to throw us curve balls in the past though. I can remember when Android “K” was supposed to be Key Lime Pie. There was a debugging icon, various videos and leaks that kept it Key Lime Pie in the spotlight. There was also chatter about Licorice early too. Anywho, we have no idea what Google will be calling the next Android version. We do know it will start with an L and it will be Android 5.0.
At the end of the video you see the poor Lady Finger guy chilling by the sweets table. On the table you will notice many treats. I see Eclairs, Gingerbread, Froyo, Ice Cream Sandwiches, a honeybee (Honeycomb), Jelly Beans, Kit Kat and some Easter eggs. Literally, a bowl of colored Easter Eggs.  Google is pretty clever. I don’t see Cupcakes or Donuts, which would round out the naming history of Android.Â
There are some Lava Cakes and Lady Fingers between the Gingerbread men and Ice Cream Sandwiches. I assume a Lemon Meringue Pie is the type of pie in the back. I am not entirely sure what the bread like slices are here in the front right and the dough balls in the back (possibly donuts). What is that other cake like thing in front of the Eclairs? What I don’t see on the table are any Lollipops or Lemon drops.
