I know. It’s strange, well maybe not “strange” that we call certain items by a different name.
I have several boxes of
kleenex in my house but none of them are
Kleenex. In fact they are called “
facial tissue” and sometimes just “
tissue” as in a store brand as I get. But, I still call that “facial
tissue” kleenex and it’s not even that brand. “
Kleenex” is actually a name brand of “
facial tissue.”
Here’s another one. I love
jello but I usually don’t have
Jell-O. I have store brand “
gelatin” instead. But we still call it
jello even though it’s “
gelatin.”
I do have
Jell-O Chocolate pudding though as that is thee best chocolate pudding to have.

I think we’ll see i-
Okay here’s another one. When I get a cut on my finger I put a
bandaid on it right? Well I sometimes don’t have
Band-aids in my medicine cabinet. But I do have Nexcare “
bandages” and Target brand “
bandages” too. But these I do call
bandages. I just hear many people call them
bandaids. But hey, that’s cool.
Can anyone else think of any other items we might have in our kitchen or bathroom that we call by the company or name brand or just call them by another name that the stores call them?
Okay, this is weird :whacky: BUT hey, as long as no one closes this thread,

Okay Whoa, my eyes can’t stand looking at how fast he turns his head so I think I’ll slow him down a wee bit. This won’t take long…
