Did the Roman empire have any "big brands" and, if so, what products were they known for?

Sickle scythe and the first working toilet and medical instruments, and construction tools. While common people made bread and wine, they used chamber pots and they could sell urine to the laundry to treat stubborn Stains as urine worked like ammonia. Soon they realized urine had many uses, even detecting pregnancy was done by peeing on rye seeds. The Smithsonian has a long list of uses exceeding 8 million for urine based inventions. There was even a urine based toothpaste and the phrase being "full of piss" meant your teeth were shining and that you must have pretty good urine to have that nice of a smile.. We think of sculptors and artisans and prayers and philosophers but the study of how they used pee and later inventions for poop too is pretty fascinating. Eventually the public bathrooms were taxed to outwit the urine and be poo merchants and Rome had the first coin operated public toilet. All that from a roman seeing a dude with shiny teeth in Brazil.
