And Kleenex is a brand name, so it doesn't take the place of all facial tissues.

And Xerox is a brand name, so it does not take the place of photocopy.

And Champagne is a sparkling wine from the Champagne region of France, so it doesn't talke the place of all sparkling wines.

And Band-Aid is a brand name, so it doesn't take the place of all adhesive bandages. (You know, when my kids ask for a band-aid, I do tell them "I'm sorry, we don't have any Band-Aid brand adhesive bandages, but we do have this other brand of adhesive bandage.)

And . . . .
