9. Throw this frisbee, and have a popsicle |
|
(popsicle tends to surprise a lot of people)
Of course, where I grew up, "coke" counts as a generic brand.
"Want a coke?"
"Sure, what kind you got?"
"Pepsi, sprite, or root beer."

7. Also Kleenex, Jell-o and Band-aid |
|
And now, whenever we want to refer to someone ruining their last chance with an ill-advised scripted remark, we can call it a "Hillary".

12. Interestingly, Xerox is moving out of the copier business |
|
Well, not that they won't still make copiers; their growth market is now the whole "value added" document-management system. Essentially, selling business processes to pointy-haired bosses.
And if you can sell a process to pointy-haired boss, you will make more money than Croesus.
