It's funny when certain brand names become so popular they're the name of the actual product, like Kleenex or Band-Aids, amirite?

medicated adhesive strip sounds way cooler than band-aid

I had no clue band-aids were even called plasters. You learn something new every day.

@what is styrofoam originally?

You mean non-brand name? Wikipedia claims "closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam." Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

@ihatesocks duct tape

the brand is Duck tape, but I put the extra effort to say duct

@ihatesocks What? And everyone I know says duct.

You're right, it's duct, cause the makers original purpose was to just use it to fix holes in ducts, but then it expanded to fixing everything y smilie
