The Kleenex...

So, I was thinking today; if you're the kind of person who says "can you hand me a Kleenex?", do you say something different if you were to, for instance, buy Puffs brand tissues? Or is Kleenex just the total vernacular?

It's totally the vernacular. The only other word would be tissue. It's actually a commonly used example when a particular brand takes over as the product it self. There are more examples, I just can't think of them right now.
