RaiderHaters Revenge 3,661 Posted March 25, 2017 Kleenex- first one that comes to mind, nobody asks for a tissue Xerox- I don't think anyone actually asks for a xerox of something anymore, its copy once again Frisbee- I actually always thought this was what the actual toy was called, technically its a brand name, and you can't have a Frisbee Football League without Copyrights others?

wiffleball 4,684 Posted March 25, 2017 Coke has been mentioned twice. It's what I came in to say. Though, to my knowledge, that's a pretty localized utilization. I've only seen it used the catch-all for all sodas / pops, etc. in Texas. And God, that's a stupid utilization. "I'll take a coke" "Sure thing Sweetie! What kind?" "Uh, the kind in a red focking can, dammit." "No, what KIND (like you're retarded) of Coke do you want? We have Dr. Pepper, Sprite, Orange, Root B---" "If I wanted a focking Root Beer, I'd ASK for a root beer! Same thing with the others." (Waitress Rolls eyes and sniffs) "So, you want a 'coka cola' then? ('asswhole is implied)" "Yes, please" "Do you want Diet? " (Stabs waitress to death with a fork) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,684 Posted March 25, 2017 Local to my house growing up, we called Aspirin 'Anacin'. - Because that's all we used. I don't know if they even still have that brand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saint Elistan 106 Posted March 25, 2017 C'mon guys... Q-Tips! It's an interesting topic because most if not all of these are old brands. Makes you wonder what new products will become house-hold names in the future. Not many electronics - probably because they become obsolete? The Walkman may be the best example. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
