That's bad, this is worse. It's stupid to use the brand name Kleenex for all facial tissue products, but at least the use is confined to that particular product.

"What kind of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes would you like?" "Cheerios"

"What kind of Dutch Boy Seashell interior Latex paint you like?" Blue.

"Which Bob Dylan's 'The Basement Tapes' album do you want to buy?" "I would like the Lady Gaga 'The Fame Monster' Bob Dylan 'The Basement Tapes' album."
