Some brands become so popular that we tend to call the objects by the brand name instead. Share the brand names that you use casually.

Tupperware. There’s the Tupperware Company containers, but everything else is technically just a container. I still call it a Tupperware though.

So these are some from my childhood in Malaysia. Good times.
Milo = chocolate malt drink...I think Nestle made them. Ribeena = concentrated blackcurrant syrup that comes in this soy sauce shape glass bottle. You dilute like a spoonful in water for a grapey juice. Not sure who made them.
Sarsi = pretty much any coke/Pepsi ish sarsaparilla soft drinks
Dutch Lady = it's a condensed milk manufactured by Nestle I think.
All food. Haha... Good times. A tad melancholic too (Permanently in New York here).

-Febreeze, even if I’m spraying something else.
-Cerave instead of body wash.
-Tide or Downey regardless of what laundry detergent it actually is, and same with Dawn for dish detergent.
-Mio or Propel, not flavored water.

Almost forgot "Palm Pilot" for any PDA (obviously before "smart" phones.) And for many older folks, "Bitcoin" for any cryptocurrency, "Nintendo" for any video game console, and "Gameboy" for any portable gaming device.

The trucks who came down your street with … farm fresh produce - fresh baked breads & cookies, Ice cream bars & popsicles = we didn't know their company names, they were all simply called "The Veggie Man" - "The Cookie Man! " "The Ice Cream Man!" Then there's the neighborhood Milk (Dairy) man, Postman & Policemen.
Reynolds wrap & Saran Wrap! Then Mayo: for them all … Mustard: for them all … Hot sauce: for them all. But... we do have our FAVORITES! And...the family grocery shopper knows them.
