Don't forget - bic for a ball pen - scotch for duct tape - kalxon for a car honk - rubalise for the white-and-red tape used in streets - mobylette for that very specific old style scooter - pédalo for the floating thingy on the beaches with pedals As for cellophane I always called it "film plastique" or just "plastique", but this varies a lot from region to region and family to family. As for Durit, it's actually a bit more interesting as the brand was genericised to "durite". It's so prevalent that we have expressions using it like "péter une durite" as a way to say "going crazy".
