- silicon5 1y agoThe term has become genericized, like Kleenex or Hoover.
- impulser_ 1y agoBecause that what most people call it. It's just like calling tissues Kleenex.
- al_borland 1y agoDrugs are advertised heavily on TV here, so they use the names people know.
- ModernMech 1y agoMedia is saying "Tylenol" because that's what the President kept saying. He had to say "Tylenol" because he can't pronounce "acetaminophen".
