Yes and band-aids aren't actually called band-aids because theyre a name brand. Same with Polo shirts.

I'm pretty sure that Polo shirts are just called polo shirts. I don't think it's a brand name.

No it is a brand name.

If it's a brand name, why do all the stores sell polo shirts with their logo on them? Then call them polo shirts?

They do the same thing with kleenex and hot tubs.. as stated in the OP's post that you must have read since you're commenting on it...

You know you've done something right when your name becomes synonymous in the public eye with a product that you didn't invent. E.G Velcro, band-aid, etc. And no, I did not know Jacuzzi was a brand name.

Wait hold on a minute! Velcro is a name too? I thought thats what its called...

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Nope, the actual name of those are "hook and loop fasteners" Though they're sometimes called "hook tape"

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Well thats stupid. Now i know why they call it Velcro.

Why Kleenex? Of all the brands to choose from... Seems odd to me is all :)

I always thought that a jacuzzi was the one that wasn't built into the ground, like that you could buy separate and just move it somewhere, but a hot tub was built into the ground/fixture or whatever. My whole life is a lie.
