Wait, aren't those distinct brands as well, even if they've become the generic term for cotton swabs and bandages respectively? Those might not be the best examples to use...

They are, but a q-tip and a brand X cotton swab are functionally the same. Coke and Sprite and whatever taste real different.

Pop is actually the more popular term in the important swing states, and those are the only ones that matter

I call at least partial bullshit on this map, I've lived in one of the alleged Coke counties in central Indiana (albeit one of the 30-50% ones) for almost seven years now and have yet to hear anything other than pop or soda for the generic term, even in other, allegedly Cokier counties.

Nah, a sandwich is any filling enclosed on at least two sides by any type of bread, that has not been cooked after assembly (toasting does not count as cooking).

Hotdog is sandwich.

subs are sandwiches because the bread is sliced into two slices which come together

and yes rolls buns baps are sandwiches because you cut them in half and have two slices. if you leave them flapping like a muppet's head there's soemthing wrong with u.

Subway subs are never cut into 2 individual slices.

I've seen this fairly often. Not 100% of the time, but ever since they stopped doing the V-cut thing, some staff just get lazy and cut the bread completely in half.

A question of semantics, really. I'm sure it was intended to be a tow rope while in practice it's a tether.

e: And, of course, since English is a poo poo language perfectly incapable of unambiguity, tether can also mean a tow rope :shrug:
