What does “Froyo” suggest?

Even individuals within the know often wind up staying, nicely, not exactly from the know.  There may be quite lots of hype about Google Android’s newest release.  Several tech businesses will attach a codename to their frees.  Microsoft as soon as used names like “Wolfpack,” “Janus,” and “Hydra” for its Windows Working technique.  Wordpress uses the names of well-known Jazz musicians and Apple utilizes major furry cats for its product or service versioning. Even though previous releases of the Android operating method had been code-named soon after desserts like cupcakes and eclairs, I obtained no notion what a “froyo” was.  Now I come to discover froyo is slang for “frozen yogurt.” I guess I didn’t obtain the memo. For some motive I saved contemplating about Frodo from Lord with the Rings.  I guess it was considered one of all those mental muck ups where you confuse two completely unrelated factors due to the fact they sound alike.  But, then once more, frozen yogurt and androids aren’t really connected inside the initial spot, are they? It's going to only be a make a difference of time ahead of some tech startup starts by using names from Tolkien’s Lord in the Rings as codenames.  Maybe Microsoft will do this for its new Windows 7 Platform.  I can’t wait to explain my getting older father and mother some thing else to help them confirm my insanity. “Yeah, dad!  My new phone’s operating the most recent Golum patch for Microsoft Hobbit.”
