{"product_id":"brand-names","title":"Brand Names","description":"\u003cp\u003eI'm obsessed with language and how it weaves in and out of our culture, and one aspect I find interesting is when a brand name product becomes a generic term.  There are a lot more of them than you might think.  So I started looking into them and giving a brief history.  I love educational zines!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI did all the writing, and then a rad new friend of mine, named Sully, did the illustrations.  Check out their stuff here: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/kaijucabal\/?etsrc=sdt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/kaijucabal\/?etsrc=sdt\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt turns out that weeks of writing and drawing was the EASY part of this project, because then Sully and I decided to print this on a Risograph!  For those who don't know, a Riso is similar to a copy machine, but uses a slightly different process.  So here you go, a 2-color educational Riso-zine!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis zine is half-size, 16 pages long, with red and black on every page.  It tells a brief, but true, story of 11 different products whose names we commonly use as generic terms.  Things like Rollerblade and Xerox.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first print-run was 300, back in Dec of 2022.  We sold out of those in about 3 months.  This is the second printing, of an additional 300.  For $4 it's all yours, a great price which includes shipping.  Enjoy!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Billy McCall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43633552818264,"sku":null,"price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/7069\/0136\/files\/BrandNames_1.jpg?v=1767503361","url":"https:\/\/www.ilovezines.com\/products\/brand-names","provider":"I Love Zines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
