Though Although Band-Aids are a genericized trademark today, that wasn't always the case. Band-Aids were first sold by the company Johnson & Johnson in [[https://www.jnj.com/our-heritage/history-of-band-aid-brand-adhesive-bandages-invention 1921]], they didn't gain popularity (and certainly not market dominance) until several years later. Getting children excited about the product (it comes in fun shapes and colors!), teaching them how to use it (by describing basic first aid), and showing the advantages of using Band-Aid brand bandages over its competitors (slimmer and more comfortable than a gauze dressing, so simple to use a child could do it) was all part of the marketing.
