I had a good online discussion the other day about household brand names. I heard the term ‘do the Hoovering’ and wondered if there were any other brands that had achieved the same success. To spawn a whole new verb is quite something but to have a brand name that we all just use by default even though there are plenty of other makes available is pretty cool I think.
