brand names coin the product

There are quite a few products out there that the brand ended up being what people call it like these...

band-aid: people always ask for band-aids over bandages regardless of brand

kleenex: yeah they say tissues but you can totally ask for a kleenex

scotch tape: nobody asks for transparent tape

windex
white-out
