geeteam Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 There's something about an important tech reveal that turns even the most stoic person into a rabid kremlinologist. Google teased us tirelessly with hints about Android L's real name. Any shred of evidence with a hint of truth received vigorous analysis and disection. Now months later, we know the all too sweet truth. Android L will officialy be called Lollipop.On the way to Lollipop, many great names ended up cut and on the candy factory floor. This one is for the losers, the Android Ls that could have been.Lemon drop was dropped not only for being an outdated and nearly forgotten candy, but also because Google wanted to eliminate ties to the delicious martini.Lava Cake almost made it, but fights erupted over the name during the prototype phase.Google is the Illuminati. Everyone knows it. This logo was dropped to make sure the tin foil hat crowd didn't get riled up.Licorice seemed like a great idea, but seeing as Android shows no signs of stopping, Google wanted to hold out for Version T...Twizzler.You probably think this one is a joke; it's not. There was "serious' talk about going healthy, but they were afraid they wouldn't be able to convince users it was organic and non-gmo.Lady Finger would have been the surprise of the decade. It was a contender, but ultimately Google went with the gender-neutral Lollipop.Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
