Growing up in Canada we did not refer to tissues as tissues. We called them Kleenex. It’s one of those weird Canadian-isms.

    Americans don’t usually use Hoover to refer to a vacuum as a noun like the Brits do, though. It’s sometimes used as a verb though.

      Saran wrap was one from my childhood, mum still uses a lot of these, I mostly say cling film these days
