I wonder if they chose to say “Tylenol” because the brand name is better known to an American audience than either generic name (paracetamol and acetaminophen)?

I wonder if they chose to say “Tylenol” because the brand name is better known to an American audience than either generic name (paracetamol and acetaminophen)? It's strange to read as someone from the UK, though, because here we use the generic name (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmd9HUkOQHk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmd9HUkOQHk). Especially since, as you point out, they are a UK bank.
Personally, that combined with “the UK's” confused me, because why would the UK government be changing the packaging of a specific brand… do they mean that the Tylenol manufacturers changed their UK packaging? Turns out, though, that the UK legislated to change the packaging of paracetamol products (http://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.f403 http://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.f403).
