A Sweet, Sweet Story - An Android Retrospective (Teaser)

All Android versions, Cupcake to Oreo.

I bet you know what Android is. Some of you might be reading this on an Android device. But have you ever looked closer at you phone, tablet etc. And wondered how that little Bugdroid started out in the electronic business? Well, if you ever did, we are here to tell you all of Android's sweet treats, from A-Z. From Cupcake to Oreo, Eclair to Kit Kat, and anything in between. We present to you our 4-part Android retrospective.

Desserts from A-Z

Android names all of their operating systems after sweets and desserts. They also name their versions in alphabetical order, except for A and B. It started with Cupcake, released in 2009. If you look up at the picture earlier, they are alphabetical. With the next version being Donut, then Eclair, and then Froyo, then the list goes on. This retrospective will be split into 4 parts: Part 1: Sweet Beginnings, Part 2: Android's Rise, Part 3: More Sweets, and Part 4: Modern Versions. Each one will tell you all about the version, including special and new functions, major updates, and other stuff! We will also add fun facts about each version. In the last part, we will take a look at possible names for the next Android version, Android P.

But whats a Bugdroid? And other questions

Q: What's a Bugdroid?

A: A Bugdroid - Or THE Bugdroid, is the mascot of Android. You know, that robot dude. That green guy. He's been the mascot for a long time. He just started to pop up everywhere while in development. Someone created it, put it on a app on the phone, and then people thought it looked cool. T-Mobile thought it was cool and started putting it in advertisements for their phones.

Q: How many versions are there?

A: There are a total of 13 versions named after desserts, while 15 if you count the Alpha and Beta versions. Some versions had different names during development, like Kit Kat, for example. It was originally "Key Lime Pie", until a deal was made with Nestle to name it Kit Kat. Lollipop was "Lemon Meringue Pie". Marshmallow was "Macadamia Nut Cookie", Nougat was "New York Cheesecake" and Oreo was "Oatmeal Cookie".

So, that's it. I'll see you next week for the first part. However, this post does not count as the post for this week, expect another tommorow, a weird one...

Outrageous and Weird Fast-Food Knock-Offs from Around the World

Domino's exactly as I remember it. So, whenever there's something popular, some people have to piggyback off of it and get that extra cash. If it's video games, clothing, merchandise, or anything ever, there is a rip-off of it. Most of these are from China, but some come from Iran, Iraq, and sometimes even the UK. The fast-food knock-offs are pretty funny, so I am here to share some with you. Today, we are looking at 5 fast-food restaurants and some weird knock-offs. Why eat at McDonald's when you can eat at... Mash Donald's! My favorite! McDonald's has it's fair share of knock-offs, Up above is Mash Donald's, a rip-off of McDonald's in Iran. Since it is the, you know, largest restaurant in the world. American fast food restaurants are banned in Iran, because America. So they have to have something to replace it, right? McDonald's knock-offs range from MaDonal, to OMcMcDnoald's, to McKebab (I am not making these up) to some that a

Outrageous and Weird Fast Food Knock-Offs from Around the World 2

Dairy Queen? What about the Dairy Fairy? Oh boy! The sequel! If you remember, last season I made a post about this with this quote at the end: "So that's all the fast food knock-offs I could find. But there's more, oh there's more, there might be a part 2 to this." Well, there is now. Today we will be looking at MORE fast food knock offs! We'll be looking at two new restaurant's knock-offs, and three from last time. So without further ado... Why eat at McDonald's when you can eat at... Maybe that's the founder's name... Looks like we're starting with this bad boy again. McDonald's has so many knock-offs that It had to be one of the three restaurants for me to bring back for this one. Up there is Al Donald. Maybe it's not a knock-off, maybe it's just the owner's name... Eh, it still has the similar logo, so it is a knock-off! Anyway, there's more, such as As Burger, Mr Mahmoud, and even a bootleg McDon

A history on the Curse of Tippecanoe

So, the 2020 election is coming up, and that's going to be interesting. Will Trump stay in office for another 4 years, or will someone new step up? Nobody knows for sure yet. But, this year is special. As it apparently is a year where a curse will take place. The Curse of Tippecanoe. Also known as "Tecumseh's Curse", or the "20 Year President Curse", the curse is said to strike on every election on years equally divisible by 20, since the year 1840. The curse has a long history, so in this weekly marshmallow, we'll dive into every occurrence during this strange curse. The curse itself Named in a Ripley's Believe it or Not book, the curse is named after a famous battle by the ninth president, William Henry Harrison, the Battle of Tippecanoe during battles and wars against Native Americans and the leader of a tribe, Tecumseh, in 1811.
