Good One
I wonder what happened to Keylime pie!!
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.
That’s a nice one. Why not chicken tandoori
