Answers are (or at least once were) commercial trademarks for particular products that have become so popular that we often use the trademarked name as if it were the generic product. This one might be somewhat specific to the USA.

Could you please consider accepting "drain o" and/or "draino" for Drano? I tried both of those.

I love this quiz - I'd love to see a part 2! Wiki has a whole list of these items: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_generic_and_genericized_trademarks

Well, I looked it up, and I don't see any variation on "Drano." But thanks, glad you enjoyed the quiz.
