Most products are not sold by their actual chemical names. A very few, however, are known by their true chemical names or close variants. Metals are simply known by and sold under the name of the element (copper, lead, iron, etc.), while other products are known by their common molecular names like sodium bicarbonate (soda), lithium (medication), and helium (to fill balloons).
