You Say These 20 Words All The Time, But Did You Know That They're Trademarked?
New Post has been published on https://kidsviral.info/you-say-these-20-words-all-the-time-but-did-you-know-that-theyre-trademarked/
You Say These 20 Words All The Time, But Did You Know That They're Trademarked?
googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display(âVN_PG_DTAT_ATFâ); );
Back in 2014, representatives from the Mormon churchâs intellectual property agency Intellectual Reserve, Inc. (IRI) moved to trademark the word Mormon after seeing what they deemed improper usage on religious dating sites.
But can they do that? As it turns out, they can. In fact, hundreds of everyday words are protected under trademark laws.
Do you call the baggies that hold your kidsâ school lunches Ziploc bags? Do you call that stuff we all love to pop when the mail comes Bubble Wrap? Then youâre using trademarked words. Thatâs all well and fine for conversational purposes, but such words canât be used commercially by brands that donât own them. Theyâre called genericized trademarks, and these are a few of the ones we use all the time.
1. Ziploc Bag
iStock
âCan you get me a Ziploc bag?â is a question that came out of my own face last night after dinner. Although we use it to refer to every plastic storage bag in existence, itâs actually owned by S.C. Johnson & Son.
googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display(âVN_PG_DCBM_BTFâ); );
2. Bubble Wrap
iStock
This term is actually owned by the Sealed Air Corporation, which is really a thing. I cannot in good conscience sit here and tell you to use âinflated cushioningâ in its place, so be a rebel and say the trademarked version with reckless abandon.
3. Ping-Pong
iStock
SOP Services trademarked this bad boy back in 1931. Table tennis is the generic alternative, but who actually says table tennis? No one.
4. Chapstick
iStock
If you want to keep using the word Chapstick to describe lip balm, just know that the people behind Wyeth LLC will come for you. (Just kidding. They donât care that much.)
5. Crock-Pot
iStock
All of those Food Network chefs donât say âslow cookerâ to sound fancy. They do it so they donât get sued for calling it a Crock-Pot, which is a term owned by Sunbeam Products, Inc. Personally, I think itâs a crock ofâŠwellâŠyou know.
6. Popsicle
iStock
Leave it to late capitalism to slap the joy of summer right out of your hands! Popsicle is owned by Conopco, Inc. Now go cry into your ice pop.
googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display(âVN_PG_DCI1_BTFâ); );
7. Realtor
iStock
If you think youâre a Realtor and you donât work for the National Association of Realtors, then Iâm here to tell you that youâre not. Real estate agent? Yes. Everything is a lie, my friends.
8. Rollerblade
iStock
Say âinline skatesâ like a damn fool next time you want to avoid using Tecnica Group S.p.A.âs widely used ârollerbladesâ and see how many side-eyes you get in response.
9. Super Hero
iStock
Say what you want about the Marvel versus DC Comics situation, but let me just add that DC owns the rights to Super Hero. Do with that information what you will. Marvel fans can opt for superhero, which is the less cool generic version.
10. Taser
iStock
Taser International, Inc. owns the rights to this one. You could say âelectroshock weapon,â or you could just not.
11. Styrofoam
iStock
The generic term for Styrofoam, which is trademarked by the Dow Chemical Company, is polystyrene foam, thus making it the best and most hilarious one of all.
12. Onesie
iStock
Contrary to popular belief, the word Onesie was not invented by a 13-year-old who thought they were really, really clever in doing so. You can thank the actual professionals at Gerber Childrenswear LLC for that.
googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display(âVN_PG_DCI2_BTFâ); );
13. Band-Aid
iStock
This is the response that those in the know tend to use by default when asked, âWhat in the actual hell is a genericized trademark?â Generic? Adhesive bandage. Trademark? Band-Aid. Whatever, Johnson & Johnson.
14. Velcro
iStock
If you want to stay hip with the kids, donât say âhook-and-loop fastenerâ under any circumstances. Velcro might be owned by Velcro Industries, but they canât hold us down.
15. Dumpster
iStock
âPut anything you donât want in the front-loader waste container,â said no one ever. The folks at Dempster Brothers, Inc. just want us to fail.
16. Hula Hoop
iStock
In order to create an alternative for Wham-Oâs Hula Hoop, the universe enlisted some help from the least creative person to have ever lived. The resulting term? Toy hoop.
17. Lava Lamp
iStock
Just know what if you ever say âliquid motion lampâ to describe a Lava Lamp in any context, I will come for you. Donât let Mathmos own you. Scream this genericized trademark from the rooftops.
18. Super Glue
iStock
This, my friends, is the mother of all generic terms: cyanoacrylate adhesive. Screw it. Iâm never saying Super Glue again. Youâre welcome, Super Glue Corporation.
19. Aspirin
iStock
Next time you have a headache, ask someone if they can get you some acetylsalicylic acid. When they respond with, âAspirin?â tell them that their ass is getting sued by Bayer.
20. Escalator
iStock
If you want to sound like your mom when she says, âthe Facebook,â call an escalator a moving staircase. If nothing else, youâll keep the Otis Elevator Company from breathing down your neck.
If you need me, Iâll be roaming the city streets screaming âBUBBLE WRAPâ from the top of my lungs, and if I get arrested, it wonât be because the Sealed Air Corporation is mad at me.

America needs more Bibles and less bubble-wrap.
    E mais uma vez, eu fiquei sabendo que ele esteve com ela por ai, eu, sinceramente, não sei mais o que eu venho sentido, não sei de fato, se estou triste por saber que ele esteve e que ele estarå com ela, não ontem, ou hoje, mas por um bom tempo. Ou se é porque essa foi uma escolha que ele tomou pra me esquecer, pra esquecer tudo que aconteceu nas nossas vidas enquanto eu fico aqui, chorando, especulando, sem saber ao certo o que sentir, o que pensar.
     E mais uma vez eu estou aqui, escrevendo, escrevendo sobre ele e sobre o que eu queria dizer, mas não tenho coragem, nesse caso, jå que a escolha dele é esquecer... O melhor mesmo é deixar pra lå, afinal, quem sou eu pra querer falar pra ele dos meus problemas não é? E agora, eu não sou nada, sou alguém que passou na vida dele, só mais alguém. Apesar de que, eu no fundo, lå no fundo ainda acredito nas coisas que ele me disse, não quando eståvamos juntos, quando ele jå estava com ela, quando ele fez a idiotice que foi escolher me esquecer. Mas é assim, pessoas como ele, não estão dispostas a lutar por alguém, pessoas como ele que não tem apego por ninguém, ou até talvez tenha, mas tem mais orgulho do que amor no coração.
     Deixa de ser idiota, menina, que amor de bosta Ă© esse? âO amor nĂŁo Ă© orgulhosoâ pĂ”e uma coisa nessa tua cabeça, esse papo de orgulho nĂŁo existe quando o amor Ă© verdadeiro. Ou seja, por que eu vou acreditar nas coisas que ele me disse, se ele nĂŁo se deu nem ao trabalho de lutar pelo amor que ele disse sentir? Por que eu vou acreditar se ele diz que me ama, mas tĂĄ com aquela que ele escolheu pra nĂŁo ficar sozinho e consequentemente... Me esquecer? Realmente, eu sou muito boboca.
      âĂ, mas ele disse que eu ainda sou a princesa dele e que eu sei que ele me ama e que ele quer me ver porque ele sente minha falta. Como ele pode nĂŁo me amar? Se ele disse que me ama e que ele sente saudade e todo o ciĂșme que ele estava sentindo por causa dos amigos dele? Ele me ama, sĂł pode ser isso, mas ele nĂŁo quer admitir pra si mesmo.â
       Deixa de besteira... Quantas vezes vais ter que quebrar a cara e parar de acreditar em palavras? Palavras sĂŁo sĂł palavras, Ă© muito fĂĄcil falar isso e aquilo, difĂcil Ă© mostrar na hora que for preciso. VocĂȘ Ă© a princesa dele Ă©? (Risos) EntĂŁo por que Ă© que tem outra ocupando o teu lugar no castelo? Castelo nĂŁo, porque afinal, de prĂncipe ele nĂŁo tem nada. Pode ter sido um prĂncipe quando estava com uma princesa como vocĂȘ, mas acabou. JĂĄ foi, vocĂȘ nĂŁo Ă© mais a princesa dele e ele nĂŁo Ă© seu prĂncipe. O castelo caiu.
        Para de chorar, seca as lĂĄgrimas. O que Ă© isso? Soluços? Deixa de ser boba, nĂŁo vale a pena, vĂȘ o quanto tu tens pela frente e o tanto de gente maravilhosa e boa que tu vais encontrar na tua vida, menina, vocĂȘ nĂŁo precisa passar por isso, aprende que coisas como essas acontecem para te fortalecer, Ă© preciso sofrer para ser uma pessoa forte e madura mais pra frente. Esquece. Ele Ă© sĂł mais um garoto e vocĂȘ jĂĄ esqueceu outros garotos antes.

What I've learned today:
Apparently, when other people are popping away with their bubble-wrap, no one else thinks of it like popping people's lifeforce away "Oh, there went my archenemy's life away," and "oops, there died my gym-teacher."
PORTRAITS FROM MADE BY INJECTING BUBBLE-WRAP WITH PAINT
-Acrylic paint injected in bubble wrap
Bradley Hart, who currently has a solo exhibition running over at Gallery Nine5, basically takes bubble wrap and patiently injects every individual bubble with acrylic paint to create photorealistic portraits. They are amazing.
