Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, and Jelly

decided to name the next version of Android after one of our favorite
chocolate treats, Kitkat" said Google on its Android Kitkat page.
As part of this deal, Nestle will promote the software by selling 50 million Android-branded KitKat bars
in 19 countries, where purchasers have the chance to win a Google Nexus 7 tablet or Google play gift cards. This deal does not include exchange of money.
