alarm:clock euro Puzzler: Brands and Words
It is time for the first Puzzler of the new year. Here goes....
Brand names sometimes end up part of the vocabulary, standing for a whole category of product; for example, Band-Aid, Biro, Scotch Tape, Frisbee, white-out, and Kleenex. Occasionally, they become verbs e.g. hoovering and xeroxing.
This week we ask you for a couple recent examples. Naturally we have a few in mind with a technology twist. But there is no one answer. It is completely open and up to you. While the examples we gave are Anglo Saxon, it's acceptable to offer example in your local language.
The first and the tenth to write in with two or more will win this week's Puzzler.
You'll win a moment of fame, if not fortune, so fire off an email with your answers.
