Here are what the Easter egg screens on Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, KitKat, Lollipop, Marshmallow, Nougat, Oreo, and Pie looked like. Then when you tap on the screen, most of them had a game of some kind. Android 9 Pie was the last one with a dessert name, but not the last one with an Easter egg.

I’ve always wondered when Apple would release a MAC version of LaBrea Tar Pits?


I really don’t find these things amusing anymore.  Number the dang releases so I can readily tell if I have the latest, and quit wasting time on cutesy things.  Make the sucker work… as a phone.

These all just have numbers instead of dessert names but still have Easter eggs. On my Android 10, If I grab the 1 in the number 10, it starts spinning around. If I get it to land the right way on the 0, it turns into a letter Q and opens the Nonogram game. I played it a few times, but have much better games on my phone that I play nearly every day.
