I won a Shark hoover on RevComps, but as it was corded, I took the £250 cash alternative. The wife just decided on a Dyson she wants, and I found that on Dyson's website, it comes with a free car accessory pack which is normally £69 too. So we now have a £329 hoover winging its way to us, with car cleaning kit, and its only cost me £79! As I hate spending money on
white goods, this has pleased me immensely!

I was once told that Hoover and Band-Aid were the most successful advertising campaigns as they achieved full name replacement!

Aspirin didn't do too shabbily either. If you're bored, read up on trademark genericde.

I worked for the company that invented an electronic painting machine, named Paintbox.
Anyone incorrectly using the term (eg a Sony laptop advertised as having a paintbox amongst its software) received a solicitor's letter saying "It doesn't. Stop".

One of the RockStore regulars trades ZRX's. A few days ago I see a post by him on FBMP where he was looking for a ZRX seat.
Me: "Msg Dustyn, he has spares" (the guy who did my ZRX11 & ZX11 seats)
Him: "Great, what do you have?"
Me: "Nothing, msg Dustyn"
Him: "What's his cell #?"
Me: "No idea, msg him"
Sunday I see his brother at RockStore. Turns out the reason he needs a seat is because he sold the one off his ZRX.. so now he has a ZRX with no seat, which is why he didn't ride to the RockStore on Sunday.
Who the fuck sells the seat off his bike without having a spare??
