Yes, I know I posted this at other forums that I am a part of, but decided to share it here:

Currently, Google is asking the public to come up with a name for its next major release, codenamed Android N. I was thinking, if you could name future releases, what would be your list?

Here is my list:
N - Nutter Butter
O - Orange Crush
P - Pink Lemonade
Q - This one is tough. I know this is kind of cheating, but what about Quesito, a popular rolled cream cheese filled puff pastry sold in Puerto Rico?
R - Red Velvet Cake
S - Strawberry Milkshake
T - Turtle Pie
U - Upside-Down Cake
V - Vanilla Ice Cream
W - Waffle Cone
X - Xylitol (well, it is sweet)
Y - Yogurt
Z - Zebra Cake

What would be your list?

Am I the only one who didn't know the Android versions followed the alphabet?

I didn't know they followed the alphabet either.  Always thought they just picked a random sweet.  Of course, I've only had a smartphone for three months now...
