Band-Aid, its an adhesive bandage
Frisbee, its a flying disc
Jello, its gelatin
Thermos, its an insulated mug
Crock Pots, they are slow cookers
Tupperware, its plastic storage containers
Q-Tips, its cotton swabs
Ziploc, its plastic storage bags
Kleenex, its facial tissue
Xerox, its photo copies
Chapstick, its lip balm
Play-Doh, its modeling clay
Rollerblades, its inline skates
Hula-hoop, its a toy hoop
Scotch tape, its just tape
Port-o-potty, its portable toilets
White Out, its correction fluid
Velcro, its hook and loop
Jacuzzi, its a spa
Vaseline, its a petroleum jelly
Coke, its cola
Anyone else know of any?
Just kind of interesting to see how brand names enter everyday vocabulary.
