I seriously thought of blogging about xenophile or xenophobe – Well, Peanut Gallery? Do you love strangers or not?
What I decided would be more fun is to talk about so many trade names that have names ending in “X”. A lot of those brand names have stuck and become household names: Javex, 
Xerox, Kleenex, Windex, Tampax and it’s BFF, Kotex! Pyrex? Blistex

What about Timex

and it’s high class sibling Rolex? And how many of us ladies still think “Cutex” when we need nail polish remover? The moral of this story is: the marketing peoples of these companies sure were on the right track. They create words and managed to get us to adopt them because they are so catchy.
“Kleenex” is what shows on my list whether I plan to purchase Scotties, Puffs or store brand tissues. What does that mean?
