http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2017/08/21/googles-newest-android-operating-system-gets-its-official-name-oreo/ >At the height of the day’s solar eclipse in New York, Google finally revealed the name of its latest Android operating system — in honor of another dark disc: the Oreo. The company turned the beloved cookie into a superhero based on the familiar Android robot logo. Google traditionally names its operating systems after sweet treats; its last system was called Nougat. >Google did not pay the famous cookie's maker, Mondelēz, any money to use the name, said spokeswoman Valerie Moens, who in an email called it a “pure co-branding partnership.” The company said in a news release, however, that it and Google will partner on a “variety of global initiatives designed to create innovative, playful experiences for both OREO and Android fans.” These, Moens said, will include a drone flight that projects a holographic version of the Android and Oreo superhero, some Android and Oreo-branded cookie giveaways, and four short films featuring the new character.
