Did we ever play it - when we list things that are commonlyknown by their brand names?

It's funny, I am trying to think of what other name I would call a band aid by and I can't come up with one.

Aspirin. Europeans know that Aspirin is a trademark owned by Bayer. Bayer lost the tm in the US after WW1.

Most famous case of losing trademark as a result of generic use => escalator.

True to game, my personal favorite trademark no one knows is a trademark? Bubble Wrap.
