There are certain products whose names we just don't use - instead we use a brand name to describe the product. I'd like to see how many we can come up with. So, list the product, and the brand name most people use, like this:
Facial Tissue - Kleenex
or
Plastic Airtight Container - Tupperware

Smashing idea.

Bleach-Clorox.

Or, you know. I just might be an oddball that loves Clorox bleach and refuses to acknowledge he uses a none-brandname product right now.
