Band-Aids

Like Hoover, Velcro, Mayonnaise, and Tupperware, the term Band-Aid is actually a brand name used by Johnson & Johnson for their range of adhesive bandages first released in 1920. Band-Aids have been subject to controversy in recent years as they're often only available in a light caucasian skin color, with non-white people enduring accusations of "whiteface" every time they want to cover up a boo-boo. To avoid a race row, these particular Band-Aids are only available in bright white to reinforce the racial superiority of snowmen and albinos.
