This is a good one. I'm going to start a round 2.

BTW if no brand names then Zamboni might be thrown out, because it is a brand name as well as a colloquial term.

Edit: Maybe ok because it refers to a single thing rather than a range of different products, like Estee Lauder.

in canada, we see zamboni as a machine not a brand name.
