So, Google has a name for Android and its… Nougat!
Well, it certainly came as a huge surprise to some people who thought ‘Nutella’ would be the final choice since Hiroshi Lockheimer, the senior VP in charge of Android, had been teasing fans on social media with hints of the same.

So, soon after the announcement was made, Twitter, as expected, exploded with comments about this new unexpected development.
While Nutella was the most preferred choice, people seemed pretty pissed and expressed their displeasure
I don’t care what you call it Google.
I’m calling it Android Nutella anyway!https://t.co/NlqyspE8pt— ZhugeEX (@ZhugeEX) July 1, 2016

Amidst all the tweets, this one certainly takes away the prize
The only reason @Google didn’t call it @Android Nutella, is because it sounds too much like Satya Nadella. #Nougat pic.twitter.com/27JSb3Fzqe

As for Indians who were definitely obsessed about getting at least one version named after a local dessert, the news came as a major disappointment
Nougat! Rofl. And we were expecting neyappam and nankhatai.

I was rooting for Neyyappam. Screw it. I’m gonna call it Neyyappam. Nougat doesn’t speak to me #AndroidNReveal https://t.co/hMoE1aGhi0
