    I had a conversation with my mom a while back about genericized trademarks- there are the obvious ones, like Kleenex, Coke, or Xerox, but I’m always surprised to look at the list and see some of the less noticed ones, like Adrenaline or Styrofoam.

    Dumpster is mine. For the longest time I wondered why authors capitalized it.
