Have you ever eaten Granola in the morning? Tossed a Frisbee? Ridden up an Escalator? If so, you might be surprised to know that you’ve inadvertently been using brand names of products with registered trademarks. They all began as brand names before they entered our lexicon as generic nouns.  Interesting, isn't it? If yes, you probably would love to see the full article of Insidermonkey featuring the common words you didn’t realize were brand names.

There are literally hundreds of generalized brand names for the things we use in our day to day lives, words to which we don’t give a second thought regarding the history of their terminology. For companies who’ve lost their trademarks it’s a bittersweet irony. They certainly succeeded in their goal of universal appeal, but most also lost legal protection while all rights to the brand name have been extinguished. As you’ll be reading this list, you’re quite likely to have about ten light bulbs light above your head as you realize that those words you use on a daily basis are actually brand names. In fact, you might even feel as if you’re part of an exclusive secretive society that knows more about the world than regular people.
