6. Band-aid
Cut your finger while cooking dinner? Get a band-aid. Scratched your knee while slipping on a banana peel? Get a band-aid. As you may be aware by now, these adhesive bandages come from a multitude of brands. Go to a pharmacy and you could probably stare at the display for a good 15 minutes before being able to pick the perfect one.
What you might not be fully aware of when doing this is the fact that Band-Aid is an actual brand name that belongs to Johnson & Johnson, the giant conglomerate based in the United States. The term has entered general use many years ago and it is no longer tied directly to the brand.
