Such as 'hoovering' for vacuuming...or pass me a kleenex (although all facial tissues are not made by the kleenex company...or q tip (just what would you call them?) or even 'googling' (we have made that into a verb these days!!)
Can you think of any more???

Oh several actually. A band-aid although they are actually bandages. Some do use "Coke" for all types of soda pop. Jeep is another and Chrysler actually had a fit about it. Vasiline, which is petroleum jelly. Jello, for gelatine. There are many that people use name brand item when they really just mean the product.
