In Response to Gretchen Harbourt

Is there any other case or instance that something you know is copywrited or trademarked that seems silly or stupid which people may use day to day or every day?

One instance of this that I can think of is people using the name Kleenex to describe all tissue products. I don't know if this is necessarily a bad thing, but I hear a lot of people ask for a Kleenex, even if it is a Scotties or Puffs brand, for example. I guess this is just one of those things where people are used to calling something a certain name and nobody really thinks twice about it.
