NEW YORK: Gimme a break, Google. Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar.
The tech giant, which is known for nick-naming its Android mobile operating systems for smartphones and tablets after desserts, has for the first time chosen a brand-name candy for version 4.4 that’s expected to launch this fall: Kit Kat, the chocolate candy bar with the well-known “Gimme a Break” jingle.
Kit Kat packaging will show Android’s green robot mascot breaking a Kit Kat bar.
Financial terms weren’t disclosed for the sweet deal between Google and Hershey Co., which makes Kit Kat.
But the deal shows that naming a stadium or sponsoring a TV show can be seen as old school.
The latest marketing craze is slapping your brand name on a tech product.
