How many products can you think of...

[barrysloate]

Vaseline, instead of petroleum jelly.

Band-Aid

Even generic plastic flying discs are called Frisbees.
To a lesser extent, how about Jacuzzi?

That's an oldie but a goody Jeff. I was waiting to see who would come up with it. Now I'm probably older then you Jeff but I would think that people that actually still use the term "Xerox" instead of copy gotta be at least sixty or so.

Here's one... Tabasco. I don't think that too many people ask for hot or pepper sauce.

[Robextend]

Tylenol

[Kawika]

Scotch tape

[Robextend]

Wite-Out

Really terrific choices by all, so far. It starts to get harder now. So be creative and give it your best shot!

Now, when I'm looking for anything online, I simply "Google" it.

That would be this generation's "Xerox"
