What exactly is an eclair?

So each version of Android is named after desserts in alphabetical order, starting with Cupcake, then Donut, Eclair, FroYo, then Gingerbread.

I know what the rest are, although I was very surprised how few people knen what froyo was (it's frozen yogurt), yet I still have no idea what an eclair is or what it even looks like? And where can I go to eat one?

Edit: Nevermind, I answered my own question. Looking at their logo here, it's close to what US Americans call a Long John. Either way, it's tasty. There's also a wiki here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89clair_(pastry)

I've always called those eclairs...

long johns are what you wear to keep warm outside in the winter!

A long john is just like a long iced donut, no filling.

An eclair is a filled long chocolate iced donut.

B**** monthly!
great movie, awesome scene.

Having said that, they are still one of my favorite treats from Dunkin Donuts. There are different variations of it. Some sell the frozen ones in the store in a pack of 4. Those aren't as good. The ones at Dunkin are more like a long cream filled donut, topped with chocolate icing.

This ?clair is over one million calories. Twenty-five pounds of butter per square inch. Covered with chocolate so dark that light cannot escape its surface.

Mmmmm... Dessert...

An Eclair is pure deliciousness... That's all you need know... Oh, and that Entenmann's makes awesome Eclairs...

I've never once in my life heard anyone call an eclair a "Long John". An eclair is an eclair. And it's also delicious. And I'm now craving an eclair very badly. UGH!!

so how the hell did they figure frozen yogurt fits in?

Froyo is just as tasty as eclairs, so why not?

I used to be a skinny guy until I went the way of Android and was inspired to eat yummy treats thanks to these creative build names. Damn you Google, you made me fat!

I like it much better, but don't bother with TCBY or other Froyo that's trying to be soft serve ice cream. There's a place in Harvard Square in Cambridge (MA, not UK) where Froyo tastes more like Yo - much better!

I tried fro-ing my own yo, but it just didn't quite work out. I'll continue to rely on the culinary experts to supply me with the delicious goodness.
