I've had a damn head cold for about a week now and I am quite fed up with it. However, this constant need for tissue has reminded me of an ongoing conversation I've had over the years. That being, how people use the name of a brand in the place of the generic term for the product. For example, by force of habit I would say I need a "Kleenex" as opposed to a "tissue" or "facial tissue". I only got about an hour before I can go home for the long weekend and want to see what other examples people can come up with. I know of several others off the top of my head, but I want to see how common they are.

Yes, let's sit around and think of brand names.
Your favorite bands suck.

It took this stupid fucker eight months to come up with the dumbass name
PepsiCoke, after rejecting DrPepperSquirt and 7-UpA&W.
No one except you mentioned bands, dipshit.

It's true, whenever I blow a load into a Kleenex I always look at it.

I have a Zune and I love it. It's funny watching people try to use it. They immediately try to just rub their finger around the center button as they would on an iPod. They forget that something was invented long ago that is far superior to any touch sensitive surface: Tactical Response...aka buttons! I guess it's a demonstration of poor human intelligence to operate everything as if it's the same... Like trying to force an American plug into a European outlet for 10 minutes because "thats how we do it in America."

Yeah, my mp3 player from Sandisk is a direct rip off of the Ipod Nano, yet it gets better reviews.
Qtip & Band-aid are perfect as I have never heard anyone use any other term for those things.

"iPod" instead of "portable hard drive with software that can play apple's own music file types" or instead of any mp3 player ever invented. You are also looked down upon for not owning an iPod by those superior and smug enough to own one or three because they broadcast it to ensure everyone in a 10 mile radius knows that they own one.
"Sharpie" instead of marker.

"Xerox" vs "photo copy"
"Q-tip" vs .... uh ... what IS the actual name? cotton swab?
"Band-aid" vs "plastic adhesive strip" (or something equally long and stupid)
perhaps I will think of more later. This shall bother me all day. I curse thee.

Can't say I care in the least.

seems kind of ironic, you "cared" enough to comment and write 7 words rather than just 1 example.
Hmmmm
OK, here is another example, albeit EXTREMELY outdated...Xerox

You do that for the same reason you look in the toilet after you poop... making sure there's nothing wrong. It's an instinctual mode of survival.
