Lego is an adjective, not a noun. You can’t say “a Lego”

As a noun, LEGO refers primarily to the pieces that use only the interlocking brick system. Bricks, plates, minifigs, et cetera. The mechanical pieces, while an important part of the LEGO brand, aren’t the stereotypical pieces that people think of when they think “LEGO”. So if someone asks for “some LEGOs”, they’re probably asking for whatever studded pieces you have on hand. Any size, any color.

sorry if i don’t know anything about a food company  
but i litterly work with LEGO, second-hand LEGO  
and yes, i will stand there blank faced because i know LEGO is more then just bricks, it is also plates, minifigures, gears, cones, and much more  
at my work, if somebody tells me ‘‘get me some lego’’ yeah… wich one? if you are working on a house, you don’t want gears, if you work on a machine, you don’t want bricks  
there is a reason it is not a noun

Oh, pepsi can only be one thing? Not Pepsi Syrup? Not a Pepsi can or Pepsi bottle or a Pepsi brand glass? And did you know Pepsi also makes patato and corn chip snacks, as well as a gamut of other soft drinks?
 
But we all know that when someone says “I want a Pepsi”, they want a Pepsi branded soft drink in a context-sensitive container. Same when someone asks for a Coca Cola, despite the hundreds of different things Coca Cola makes and is branded on.
 
Seriously, if there’s a bucket of lego bricks in front of you and someone asks “can you get me some legos?” Are you seriously going to stand their blank-faced an go “Excuse me, are you referring to this LEGO brand manual for a LEGO branded interlocking brick construction set, or are you referring to any one of these LEGO brand interlocking bricks? Or maybe you would want the concept of a LEGO copyrighted design that can be built with LEGO brand interlocking bricks purchased in a pre-packaged LEGO brand toy set for ages 6 through 12?”.
 
No, you dunk your hand in the bucket and grab some damn legos.

@The Smiling Pony  
what is ‘‘the lego’’? Pepsi can only be 1 thing  
LEGO has multiple options, it can be bricks, sets, boxes, figures, gears, instructions, pins, plates, ect.  
when you ask to me ‘‘hand me the lego’’ i have no idea what of LEGO you want

LEGO is not a mass, it is a brand  
LEGO bricks, LEGO sets, LEGO figures, those are masses  
when saying legos, what do you mean? the bricks, the sets, the figures, the instructions?

Objects have mass, Legos also have mass, therefore Legos is an object, and thusly is a noun as nouns are applied to objects. A tree is an object, it has mass, therefore it is also a noun.  
You have mass, therefore an unusual noun, the pronoun can be applied, when a proper noun is not.

These are all things lawyers are saying to protect their brand against genericide. It is not how the language is used, which is how it works. A lawyer can lay out as many “this is the proper way” commandments as they want, if people don’t care, and the majority don’t then he’s wrong. Most people says Lego bricks or just Legos, so that’s what goes.
