What is the deal with all of this product placement...

  • Has anyone noticed all of the product placement that is occuring in movies/TV/sports, etc? It is everywhere. How do you guys feel about this?
  • Maybe no one notices it, since no one replied I've noticed it quite a bit lately, and really dont' like it. I was watching something last night and the guy picked up a can of pepsi, name carefully facing the camera, and it really did trigger a craving! Fortunately, I had some diet soda in the fridge However, a flash of Pizza Hut or a Snickers bar can send subliminal messages to viewers, and this can't really help the obesity problem, can it? Teenagers in particular might be vulnerable to this.
  • I am with you Suzanne, the other thing that makes me crazy about it is the kids see the messages too and are relentless about having these things, But it is true about triggering cravings.....
