Many brand names have become synonymous with a general type of product. As an example "Bondo" has widely become known as the general term for auto body filler. "Looks like I'll have to put some Bondo on that side panel."

Let's see how many we can come up with. Please post one answer in the first 24 hours to allow others to participate.

1. Bondo
2. Band-Aid
3. Kleenex
4. Chapstick
5. Q-Tips
6. Jell-o
7. Velcro
8. Levi's (on the fence here)
9. Post-It
10. Yo-Yo
11. Vaseline
12. Popsicle
13. Linoleum (I can't count)
14. Scotch Tape
15. Jacuzzi
16. Thermos
17. Frisbee
18. Styrofoam
19. Saran Wrap
20. Xerox
21. Google
22. Crock-Pot
23. Walkman
24. Lay-z-Boy
25. Brillo Pad

Exactly. I think that there's maybe 10-15 that really fit without question and that's one of them. wave

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Good answers ladies. wave

I'd say that there's a good argument either way for Levi's, Marian. They were the first denim pants in America ( I think lol ) I would say it depends on your experience with Levi's.

Good one, Bob thumbsup I guess for the rest of them you'll have to go in the bathroom, look in the mirror and stick that tongue out. lol
