what's my name again?

Sometimes I think about how funny it is that a lot of the names we call things (products and the like) are not the correct name for them. For instance, one specific brand of toaster pastries is pop tarts, but we tend to call all brands pop tarts. Similarly, when I am at work, people frequently order a frappuccino, but that is the starbucks name for what we call a big chill. Kleenex is a brand of facial tissue, there are thousands more that are part of our everyday speak. It's amazing the influence brands have over our lives.
