Ah, a band-aid is a 'pleister' I guess.

I always figured it would be called a plaster.
-No idea where asparin comes from. And no, never heard of tylenol or acetaminophen. I do know ibuprofen, but never use it.
-Klitteband is named after the plant 'klit':

Notice the hooks at the ends.
-Yes, ijs means ice. Basically pronounced in the same way too.
-Yeah I guess we call this kind of foil plastic foil. But never Saran wrap.

-I like the word 'blinds'. "Shut the blinds!" sounds so much cooler than "shut the luxaflex!"
-Maggi is ok I guess. I rarely use it, it's always soy sauce for me.

Ah, a friend told me some good ones. We have absolutely no decent word for 7UP! Same with Jeep.
Bacardi introduced the Breezer. We don't have another word for fruity, sugary drinks with alcohol.
