The Google Android Statues, formerly located at 1981 Landings Dr in Mountain View, were a popular attraction showcasing the evolution of Google's Android operating system. Each statue represented a different version of Android, named after sweet treats like Cupcake, Donut, Jelly Bean, KitKat, and Tiramisu.
