Like it!
There's quite a tradition now of using food-related terms to refer to computers:
Computer brand/model names (Apple, Tangerine ...)
Junk mail (spam, velveeta ...)
Components (Sun's "Happy Meal Ethernet" chipset, Pizza Box cases ...)
OS releases (recent Linux kernel was called -greased-turkey :o)
I'm sure there are others, but they escape me now I try to think of them.

"Happy Meal" *and* "Big Mac", which was the version that didn't support full-duplex Ethernet. :)
