 | Chapstick, Chapped Lips, and Things Like Chemistry |
Do you realize how important brand names are? Until I see how often I call items by only 1 of the specific products names, as if it were the general term. I had created a list with friends on what they should actually be called, but some we were stumped because we were just so used to using the proper name.
sometimes, it’s just the first product to market and then others have the uphill battle of getting the market, but sometimes it’s just as simple as having a catchy name.
Here’s a list, leave a comment and I’ll add them to the list.
- zamboni
- jell-o
- oreo cookies
- walkman
- chapstick
- windex
- band-aid
- kleenex
- Powerpoint
- Saran wrap
- ziplock
- Swiffer
- Playdoh
- Xerox
- Drugs (tylenol, aspirin, etc)
