You missed the point, some brands become so popular and have been around so long that they become a generic term for everything similar. A "Coke" is just one of them (it's become a virtual generic term for a cola soda ) ... If you think my example is not good enough, YOU come up with a better one....Not ones that that HAVEN'T.

A Coke is NOT Pepsi. They are different formulas and taste different. When I order a Coke, I don't want a Pepsi. The converse is also true. Try telling Coke that it's the same as Pepsi. If you tell me Coke, I expect Coke, not Pepsi. If you want to argue minutia, make a good solid argument, not this specious soft drink crap. Next you'll be telling us that a 7-up is the same as a Sprite, and that Budweiser is a Corona, and a Land Rover is a Jeep (Don't let Daimler-Chrysler catch you ... they are very protective of their trademark name).
