Nice looking site. But why associate your product with junk food?
Depends on your definition of junk food. Chocolate covered biscuits were considered a delicacy and a snack before it was called junk.

#43There are easter eggs, type "haveabreak" or "up up down down left right left right b a".

#44Pretty. But do there exist web browsers that display these scroll-to-animate sites correctly? Using either mousewheel or dragging the scrollbar (or worse still, dragging on an iPad), it's never anything but choppy choppiness and I miss important bits of text as they scroll past entirely between the little click stops on my mouse wheel. Surely it must be possible to actually view these sites, as evidenced by the fact…
It's working great on my admittedly beefy Win 7 Laptop on Chrome with my mouse wheel or dragging the scroll bar. The mouse scroll is a little choppy in that it jumps in tiny increments rather than elegantly transitions.
It would be nice if they supported the keyboard too though.

#45they break back :( But otherwise, lovely.
To think its only going to be people like us that 'get it'

It looks and works fine on my ipad.

#47Nestle is a truly horrible company[1], this hook-up has really re-enforced the notion in my eyes that Google is now just another big multi-national corp in the same vein as the rest. It's sad, because I used to think they could show the world that a big corp didn't have to do things that way. I'm not sure if they changed or if I was just naive.

You arrived at this conclusion as a result of Android's naming convention which uses food names instead of version numbers?
Jelly Bean was sponsored?
Calling the version "KitKat" was basically product-placement.
Re: KitKat's new website
#48So kitkat bought the new android OS release name for themselves, and released a coordinated marketing campaign. Is there any insider story on how that happened somewhere?. Maybe is a bit too early for that.

Google could not have adopted marketing like this without Nestlé's approval. Nestlé are truly vile and "do no evil™" are in some form of partnership with them, at the very least it is cross-promotion.
Re: KitKat's new website
#50Off topic, but did they get an engineer to write the content? "Thanks to its world-renowned, tri-core, wafer thin CPU with full chocolate coverage." If this is intentional sarcasm it is tasteless (pun intended)
It's full of tech references because they're promoting Android 4.4, which is named KitKat.
