Google is the largest ad company in the world. Selling ad space is what they do. What is Android naming if not one giant ad space?
Long story short I'd be extremely surprised if Google didn't sell this.

I believe they explicitly stated that no money exchanged hands over the KitKat naming. I wouldn't be surprised if the same were true here. It's easy cross promotion for both companies, and it's not like there's a wealth of "O" named confections.
