+481 There are some well known products that are so popularly distributed by one manufacturer that no matter whose product you're using you call it by the popular manufacturer. For example, sharpies, kleenexs, oreos, band-aids, etc., amirite?

what else would you call an Oreo....?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

there are store brand chocolate cookies with creme that are similar to oreos but can't use that name

by Anonymous 14 years ago

technically, though, Oreo is the name of the actual cookie. the other ones are just knock offs, no?

nobody actually calls them kleenex's, and i'm pretty sure Oreos are really specific

Really? Just about everyone around here calls them kleenex.
