| generic names vs brand names
over the past few years my friends and i always sit together and think of these names... we think of products that are publicly and most commonly referred to by Brand names. ie: Kleenex should be tissue, Band-aid should be medical bandage. I am sure i have reached well over 100, but i cant remember any!!!!!!!!! i am finally sitting down and creating a webpage about them, but i only have those two!!!! HELP!!!!! |
