No, just No.

So I have a pet peeve that sometimes informs, other times infuriates, certain people.

The issue is when people call an item or consumer product by a different companies trademark name.

So I've decided to do my best at completing a list of all these wrongfully used names. If you know any I can add just leave a comment and I will add it to the list. Also if you see anything that needs correction please leave a friendly comment to help me with accuracy.

Actual product name - Common wrongfully used name - Manufacturer of commonly used name.

Facial/Soft Tissue - Kleenex - Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.
Hook and Loop - Velcro -  Velcro Industries B.V.
Cotton Swabs - Q-tip - Unilever
Petroleum Jelly - Vaseline - Unilever
