Android 1.1 was called Petit Four

I've been living in France for 16 years and eaten a lot of petits fours. Today I learned that they can be sweet? I've never seen somebody use the term for sweet foot.

I live in Australia and I only ever see petits fours used to describe small sweet morsels served at the end of fine dining (a three course meal, a tasting menu or degustation) often delivered with your order of coffee or tea.

Wait what, did someone trademark this name?

Yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popsicle_(brand)

It was invented by Frank Epperson, who left stirring sticks in fruit juice that was left to freeze. He called it the Eppsicle, as a combination of Epperson + icicle, but his kids started calling it "Popsicle" (as they called him Pop), and the name stuck. The name is now owned by Unilever.

Almost 100 years ago.
