All except xerox. I don't think I have said that once in my life and rarely hear anyone say that instead of copy.

Coke, when in the south.
If I ever say I want a coke, and you bring me a Dr. Pepper or Sprite I will look at you like an idiot

While this is true, it is also true that no one has ever asked "Do you have change for the Dr Pepper machine."

This is the proper clarification of what constitutes the generic term wrt "Coke."
It should be "Coke machine" versus "soft drink vending machine." NOT Coke versus all other soft drinks. Nobody walks up to someone carrying a Sprite and says "look I got a Coke." But they may say, "I got it out of the Coke machine."

Ever visit the Dakota states and order a coke?
shite gets awkward when you tell the waitress exactly what you want to drink and they ask you what kind.

If you ask for a Kleenex someone can bring you a tissue of any brand and you don’t care. Same with band-aid, etc
Coke isn’t on that level
