->"Whether a given proposal qualifies as a Sub-Trope or The Same, but More Specific can be highly subjective; Tropes Are Flexible, after all, but we don't need a new page for every last variation possible. Please consult your fellow Tropers first to get opinions."

BlandNameProduct is a very broad trope that's generally used as a sight gag, and we definitely don't need a subtrope for, say, BlandNameSodaCans for all the Mr. Pepper and 8-ups in media.

I actually did think it was The Same But More Specific when this draft first came out, but considering how so many pieces of media are ''all about the cars'' yet file their brands off (as opposed to a one-off WcDonalds appearance for funsies), and how debadging is a real process is media-making, I think it's worth the split. The volume of examples can speak for that. If you ask me, this is more tropeable than {{iPhony}}, considering all the racing games around.

It may be worth splitting the video game genre into sub-genre folders, like in {{AKA 47}}.
