Anybody miss the days when companies were named something that was at least tangentially related to their function?
You might just be thinking it used to be that way because when a new company/product becomes successful, their brand name becomes the term for the thing.
Kleenex
Xerox
Asprin
Hoover
> Looking for a term to differentiate its new system, Haloid coined the term xerography from two Greek roots meaning "dry writing".
"Aspirin" was named for the Spiraea ulmaria plant used in its synthesis.
"Borax" is sodium borate.
"Kleenex" helps keep your nose and face and surroundings clean.
