My money's on MCS-48(R) assembler.

[Okay, I'll explain.  MCS-48 is Intel's low-end microcontroller line.
You'll find one in just about every keyboard made in the last few years,
as well as in things like microwave ovens, washing machines, intelligent
thermostats, stereo equipment, televisions, and just about any place
else that low-cost computer control is desirable.  There are zillions of
them out there...]
