I think there are some products that are default names of a product, like Trojan for condoms. But everyone knows that they're called condoms, where not everyone knows that Band-Aids are actually just one brand of the entire product.

Nobody orders a whiskey and lemon-lime soda, you order a 7&7.

[SatCam]

but there quite a few item likes ordering a coke or diet coke in a restaurant, no 1 ever says I want a Diet Soda, the Waitress will tell you (in shame) if they have Pepsi instead

I kno someone who orders "Diet Soda" in order to get a diet coke or sometimes he just says "Diet" and everyone seems to know what he's talking about

[sailor]

i always order coke, even though i prefer pepsi. they only have one or the other and it's more likely coke. just easier to order that way.
