Prime example is the newly revised,
"I am stuck on Band-Aid BRAND, 'cause Band-Aid's stuck on me" And who could forget the natural-sounding delivery of... "New Lean Pockets! From Hot Pockets BRAND!" People do not use the word BRAND when speaking about or requesting a product. It doesn't happen. |

This bugs me also. I'll bet money the companies' lawyers are involved in this. |
