Default Re: Brand names used for everday terms



You have NO idea....

The Army is barred from using Trademarked names....

Therefore.....

Velcro becomes "Hook-Pile Tape"

Zipper becomes "Slide Fastener"

Snaps become "Lift the dot fasteners"

Post-its become "Note Pad, Self Stick"

and the one you'll hear the most??

Tape, Universal.....aka "Duct Tape"...aka "100mph Tape"

Ya gotta love the Army's war on the English language.....
