A few weeks back I had asked if there are any other brands other than FedEx that have become generic and moved into the English dictionary.
Ram has come out with a whole bunch of brands (or should we call words) that have become generic and part of the lexicon.
Here is the list of brands that he has sent. Thanx Ram!
Roller blade
Walkman
Chap Stick
Dumpster
Velcro
Biro
Gramophone
Laser
Kerosene
Frisbee
Windsurfer
Escalator
Formica
Thermos
Linoleum
P.S: Ram, you addressed me as ‘Sir’ in your comments. Are you one of my unfortunate students or are you one of this blog's readers who is just being nice?

I am not too sure but I guess some of the words in the list were already a part of the english dictionary since a long time.
