Isn t Android going to run out of names?

I was thinking since Android names go by alphabetical order...and are all related to some candy or food...aren t they gonna run out?

There were the first two:

Alpha (A)

Beta (B)

Then the rest:

Cupcake (C)

Donut (D)

Eclair (E)

Froyo (F)

Gingerbread (G)

Honeycomb (H)

Ice-cream Sandwich (I)

Jelly Bean (J)

Kit Kat (K)

Lollipop (L)

And now "Marshmellow (M)...which is coming soon.

Aren t they going to run out of letters?

    Alpha (A), Beta (B) will always be used

    (1) Alpha is the very first release of a new software distribution Be it Android or Chrome Xp, W7 W10

    (2) Beta is the second release after all the bugs have been found by users of the Alpha release,

    As for the rest how many names can you think up beginning with "C" followed by "D" and so on.

    Do you know how many candies and sweets there are? Thousands. They will run out of time before they run out of names.
