Here's a list of 25 Brand Names that people seem to think are generic names for a product. Another one not listed is Tabasco Sauce. I caused great angst and panic among the CBS Standards and Practices people a decade or two ago by informing them of this. They labored night and day to keep childrens programming free of references to company and product names…but they thought Tabasco Sauce was just another way of saying "hot sauce" and had allowed it many times, including on shows I worked on. When they found out it was the registered name of one particular brand of hot sauce, panic swept the network.
