CBC: Kleenex maker says famous tissues to be wiped out of Canada soon, citing 'unique complexities'
cbc.ca
Growing up in Canada we did not refer to tissues as tissues. We called them Kleenex. It's one of those weird Canadian-isms.

Hoover is one, where I am at least
Americans don't usually use Hoover to refer to a vacuum as a noun like the Brits do, though. It's sometimes used as a verb though.
Saran wrap was one from my childhood, mum still uses a lot of these, I mostly say cling film these days
Also sellotape instead of sticky tape.
