Is there some interesting backstory to sharing this? Is there an interesting item on the long list somewhere?

Personally, I found the list in general interesting—I wasn’t aware that a lot of these were originally trademarks. Escalator, flip phone, hovercraft; I just assumed that these were the basic term for those things. Learning that they weren’t is interesting in its own right.
