No, it’s named after the cereal
Completely wrong as is clearly named after Google parent company Alphabet
Yeah. Little known fact, they named their company after their original product, but struggled with how to turn in profit, so they created a Google subsidiary which invented a search engine. True story.
I googled alphabet and apparently google got alphabetted 8 years ago?
