Darn! I wish I could remember that Shakespeare quote about the rose  >


Oh well,  How many items can you think of that we refer to and know by the Brand Name rather than what the object actually is?

Here's a couple to get you started

Scotch Tape - this is the brand name used by 3M for their particular brand of cellophane or adhesive tape

Handiwrap or Saran Wrap - brand names used by Dow Chemical and SC Johnson for the plastic wrap for covering/wrapping food

The guillotine might qualify (it was the name of her designer). Even if it doesn't, you can never go wrong with a guillotine.
