I was thinking the other day of how so many people say "I need to buy some chapstick" not lip balm. Same with many other thing like Kleenex instead of tissue (or facial tissue), bandaide instead of adhesive bandage. Or saranwrap instead of cling wrap, jello instead of gelatin. And of course many others (that I can't think of at the moment >< wink So the next time you see a man dressed as a kleenex box kindly thank him because without these companies we'd all still be saying facial tissue.
