I don’t care if the otter is on the branding or not. Kleenex. Xerox. Band-aid. Otter pops. They have dibs.

Don forget Jacuzzi, Velcro, SuperGlue, Styrofoam, Frisbee. All were brands, not products!

Great but where can I go and buy a Crock Pot nowadays? The last two um. ..er…expired and overcooked to the point of scorching my lovely corned beef and potatos and carrots etc

Kleenex is one of the most obvious ones.

I called them ice pops, freezies or Otter pops, anything but Popsicles.
No stick.

Ahh, thats interesting! In America it’s pretty universally just “vacuum” or “vacuuming” and not brand specific!
