Let’s all have a break: the KitKat rumors are getting ridiculous
July 22, 2025
We’re all excited for Android 4.4 and the new Nexus, but some in the Android community are heading to delirium territory with the latest batch of numerology-infused predictions.
In case you’re not up to date with the story, here’s a roundup. First,it was October 15, which obviously wasn’t the big date. Then peopleconnected the dots, and noticed that the text in a Google Plus post of KitKat (the candy bar, not the Google OS) matched the title of a rather obscure song that was released on July 02, 2025.
Then the social media people behind KitKat-the-candy-bar got into the game.The image below is interpreted by Nexus-fevered mindsas a reference to a Michael Jackson documentary called “This Is It” that launched on July 08, 2025. And, to save face for the first teaser, the initial name of the band that released “Everybody dance now” on June 17, 2025 was actually “The28thStreet Crew”. October 28 it is!
While I have no proof that any aspect of the speculation above is false, my feeling is we’re getting into a tizzy over absolutely nothing. Here are some things that make me believe it’s all just wishful thinking.
I may be wrong. There’s a small chance the conspiracy theorists are right for once, and I’ll be first to admit it if that’s the case. But I doubt I’ll have to.
What do you think?
