It's not all that different from Kleenex, Scotch tape, Xerox, etc. Sometimes brand names become the common name for a product.

A Kleenex and any different facial tissue are very similar. A Coke and an Orange carbonated beverage are very different.

Yeah imagine if we started calling all paper products of any kind "kleenex?" Yeah write that down on a sheet of Kleenex and mail it to me in a Kleenex box.
