Brand names used for everday terms
Ever thought about the items that we often use a brand name as an everyday term. Just thought it was interesting at some of the things we use brand names for.
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.
