Also my husband eats the generic cereal that come in big bags. I call whatever they are by their real counterpart's name. Like Tasty-Os or whatever are Cheerios.

I forgot Post-It and Band-Aid. I do try most the time to not call things by their brand name. I think it's my college professors haunting me.
