The term Stepside should be added to the list of Generic Trademark names, such as...
"Thermos, Kleenex, ChapStick, Aspirin, Dumpster, Band-Aid, Velcro, Hoover, Jet Ski and Speedo are examples of trademarks that have become genericized in the US and elsewhere."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_trademarkI've been guilty of using Generic Trademarks (Stepside being one of them), but I have to admit the one that really caught me off guard in that list was the word Dumpster...I had no idea that was a brand name. I'm pretty sure I've always called them Dumpsters (instead of garbage bins).
I'm also guilty of using Kleenex and Velcro, but none of the others really.
There, more useless information you didn't need to know...lol.
