called Hey
yes technically frisbee is a trademark
of the whammo toy company and they
didn’t take kindly to their name being
used as a general term please no frisbee
vamos general manager Edward Heydrich
perfected the existing toy in 1964 by
reworking the top and the rims which led
to a more controllable flight and the
frisbee has since become a worldwide
phenomenon and the leading name in
flying discs number eight post-its
repositionable notes i know prayer
post-its
though it may be owned by the company 3m
it’s hard not to call what’s known as a
repositionable note by the name of a
post-it even though the company’s patent
for it actually ran out in 1997 the only
thing he didn’t have was the support of
senior management at 3m to overcome this
Frison sample to all the company’s
executives who quickly ordered more
samples these little pieces of paper are
handy for sticking in and around your
office as well as relocating to
different areas hence their name while
trying to improve the adhesive the 3m
use for tape silver discovered a less
sticky glue created in 1968 by dr.
Spencer silver these notes have
transcended physical paper due to their
popularity leading to sticky notes on
Windows computers among others while
post-its distinctive yellow color

number 7
Tupperware plastic containers
hang in ever since 1948 when Earl Tupper
released his invention to the public
these plastic containers have been
storing food and fridges long after they
would have otherwise gone bad and
started to smell based out of Orlando
Florida
Tupperware has become the leading figure
in plastic containers for the kitchen
and home earning a revenue of 2.3
billion in 2010 alone and I never would
have ever guessed though that my little
hobby turned into a part-time job turned
into a lucrative part-time job and here
we are a full-fledged career and I
couldn’t be happier this popularity is
helped by topper where parties where
guests go to a gathering where the
signature plastic products are put on
display and perhaps even used to store
food in order to generate more interest
and sales hear that whispers that’s
Tupperware’s airtight promise to keep
foods flavor fresh regardless of how
they retain their reputation airtight
plastic containers used to store food
will likely be always called Tupperware
in everyday speak regardless of the
actual brand why don’t you see if you
can give that a nice tear
don’t hurt yourself now
number six q-tips cotton swabs q-tips
the same swab used for a variety of
reasons including cosmetic and first aid
applications cotton swabs are probably
most widely used to clean your ears
even though doctors have constantly
warned against it invented in the 1920s
by Leo Kirsten Zhang his original
contraption was cotton wads attached to
toothpicks but luckily they have since
gone with a less pointy approach of a
rolled paper handle q-tips were first
made for babies and have been used by
doctors nurses and mothers for over
water of a century his original name for
the q-tip was baby gays but it’s under
the former term that they have become
the highest selling brand of cotton
swabs in the world leading to the term
being used as a genericized trademark
for the product in North America q-tips
a swab by any other name is not the same

glass cleaner can Windex to the counter

signature blue color has helped it stand
out from the rest
ever since he was first released in 1933
and it has become the best-selling glass

Windex touch-up cleaning the Windex we
know today wasn’t always safe as its
first formula was nearly a hundred
percent solvent had to be sold in metal
cans and proved to be extremely
dangerous due to its flammability
fortunately he was reformulated after
World War two and we were provided with
the quality streak free cleaning power
we know today which has resulted in
Windex his leadership of glass cleaning
products somebody gave me the mop

dessert
fun to make n delicious to eat jello has
been the worldwide bestseller in gelatin
desserts since its popularity began to
flourish back in 1904 dessert I didn’t
make dessert instead I made some fun the
snack itself was actually first created
in 1897 but failed to make an impact
until the janessa Pure Food Company sent
a large number of salesmen to hand out
free cookbooks on how to make jello and
various recipes this proved to be an
instant success for the dessert
especially thanks to its cheap cost and
easy preparation jello is still popular
today
with students on college campuses
getting rather creative with the dessert
by turning them into jello shots we are
going to enjoy a civilized grown-up
holiday not too grown-up I made jello
shots

three scotch tape transparent adhesive
tape whether you’re making something
simple or something simply amazing
making it is half the fun
Scotch makes amazing like the post-its
the brand scotch tape is owned by the
company 3m and the product itself has
been used to tape things together since
1930 the name Scotch came about because
he was slang for stingy in the 1920s a
term that was used by body shop painter
Richard drew after becoming discouraged
with some of the new masking tape he was
testing and referred to the people
behind the sample as Scotch bosses
the Scotch brand soon became the leader
in adhesive tape sales helped along by
the mascot Scottie McCabe in the 1940s
and 50s
so before you ask for scotch tape just
remember that’s not necessarily what
it’s called that’s just a brand number
