November 25th Celebrated History
1884
Henri Nestlé registered the Nestlé trademark for condensed milk.
1924
The United States Patent and Trademark Office granted International Cellucotton Products Company the trademark for Kleenex. It's interesting to note, that unlike Nestlé, the brand name Kleenex became universally used for the type of product Kleenex was - a tissue. The use of such eponyms often happens when a product becomes a household name. For example, we Xerox to make copies, even if we're not using a Xerox machine. In the winter, we coat our lips with Chapstick but the brand of lip balm we're really using might be something else. And if you're Googling an eponym right now, what search engine are you using? Oh, and chocolate isn't a brand name of any kind and Nestlé never replaced it.
1975
Robert S. Ledley Received patent No. 3,922,552 for what became known as the Automatic Computerized Transverse Axial or first Whole-Body Computerized Tomography Scanner.
1987
The comedy starring Steve Martin and John Candy, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles premiered in U.S. theaters. Written and directed by John Hughes, the holiday film follows two unlikely companions as they travel home for the holidays.
