Brands in Action (y’know, like verbs!)

Happy Friday! How ‘bout a contest, yeah?  Hokay So, I’m going to list my favorite brands that have been used as verbs.  Then, in the comments you’ll list your faves.  Those of you that have the most/best/interesting brand verbs will be awarded with a beer (and or other happy hour beverage of choice) paid for by yours truly. Said contest will run from now (Friday September 12th at 5:24pm until next Friday the 19th at the time that I start drinking (usually 3pm-ish).  If you are participating from outside of Minneapolis (which I hope you are!) we’ll work it out ok.  IOUs, send your friend a drink, FedEx?  It’ll happen I swear.

Here goes, Erin’s Faves:

1. I TBS’d It – watching the second half of a movie on TBS and then watching the first half when they replay it immediately after.
   
2. Just Google It – searching for any information online.
   
3. Mapquest it First – Number of people using Mapquest: approx 7.  Number of people saying Mapquest when they are really using Google Maps: approx 7 million.
   
4. I watched it on TIVO – Did you really? Or are you watching it on your DVR? That’s what I thought.

Ok ready break!

*Honorable mentions are available for brand name/tag line integration. Example: At the cabin my dad took me and Libby to a bar called What the Heck.  Before getting out of the car he turns to us and says, “Wisconsin, more bars in more places.”  But no, I will not be buying him beers, only you!
