Talk:List of generic and genericized trademarks

FaceTime, Honda?

I'm in IT... Whenever people want to make a video call, even if the person doesn't have an Apple device, it's quite common for people to say "FaceTime" even when it's either a generic video call or even another method (e.g. Skype, Facebook Messenger, etc.).

Also while I got a thread open, I'm working in rural Alaska, and many people refer to their ATVs as a Honda; even though most ATVs I've seen are indeed Honda-branded, just about everybody I've met will still use the word "Honda" to describe say, Polaris or other brands of ATVs.

As there is a note saying to not add new unsourced entries, I figured I'd ask first. Edwardw818 (talk) 02:46, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

Genericides.org link no longer exists

The link to genericides.org/genericides-list returns a 404 Not Found and when I try to access genericides.org itself, I am immediately redirected to a clearly malicious website Dominic Vincent Irwin (talk) 15:20, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing it out; I've updated the article to use archive copies where possible. TJRC (talk) 18:14, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Ramen noodles should be considered

Generic in the US and the instant noodles page reflects this. Nicolasqueen (talk) 15:43, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't see where "ramen" has ever been a trademark. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 16:51, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Autotune?

This could be a good candidate for this list. It's often used as a stand-in for vocal pitch-correction despite being a specific product. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2620:15c:2d4:202:d31e:14ba:9541:fe8b (talk) 17:17, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Do you have a reliable independent source? TJRC (talk) 17:45, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
