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.)

exactly! See now you get it
ETA: However if you are requesting an adhesive bandage from the BAND-AID Box then you are correct. Many of those examples can be accurate because those are popular brands that most people use. So, when I ask for a kleenex (even though I say tissue) it usually comes from the Kleenex brand box so I am accurate. Just like if I want a Coca-Cola then I will say Coke. However, Pepsi is NOT coke it is pop. Thank you
