Hey Pandas, What Object Do You Know By A Brand Name And Not By Its Actual Name? (Closed)

Petroleum jelly aka white petrolatum is always just “Vaseline.”

Other than Kleenex being the most used name, I'd like to throw Tupperware for any food storage container into the pot.

Band-aid

For the older ones among us: xeroxing for copying paper.

Not an object, but "Google it". It's a verb now.

"Dumpster" is actually a Brand, not the proper name of the Garage Bin.

Haven't seen anyone mention Scotch tape or Krazy glue.

regardless of the fact that a brand named Hydro was the original Oreo, I will forever, undoubtedly, refer to the beautiful creation of black biscuits and white cream as Oreo.

And nobody can stop me.

Trampoline is a brand name. I think it was originally called a tumbling device.

Q-tips, I didn't know for decades that there was a other name for them. Same for Kleenex and Band-Aids.

I usually refer to disinfecting wipes as Lysol wipes, and I've always said Lysol wipes regardless of what brand I buy.

Kind of more of a Canadian thing, I think, but I always refer to boxed Mac and Cheese as KD, or Kraft Dinner.

I’m surprised that it hasn’t shown up here yet! Jacuzzi is just a brand, it’s a HOT TUB

scotch tape

Craisin. Specific brand of dried cranberries, but it's easier to say so I refer to all dried cranberries as Craisins.

bandaid, even though they are just bandages

All wet wipes are called Clorox, even though it's only a brand.
Same with Windex

Escalator, that's actually a brand name
So are several other things. I think there's a word used to describe products commonly referred by a popular brand name

In UK
Sellotape
Hoover
Vicks (vaporub)
Lemsip
I'm sure there are more but I can't think of them.

Sellotape. Though that might be genericised.
Allen wrench/key. Allen is the company that made hex wrenches.
Biro. Pretty sure Bic owns that.
Velcro. Common one there.
Super glue. Pretty sure that is trademarked.
Hoover. UK one there.
Comic con. SDCC owns that one, though ours uses the term and has no association, so maybe that is just an American trademark.

Chapstick. Ain't never a day in my life where I've asked for a tube of lip balm.
