OMG!!!
Kleenex is not a product. It's a brand name. Facial tissue is the product, yet Kleenex has become synonymous with facial tissue just as Q-tip has for cotton swab. A MacIntosh is an apple and it has become synonymous with Apple. Everyone knows whether you're referring to the computer or the company by the context. I remember when Apple was a recording label, so I think you should just "Let it Be."
