Product placement that worked for you - Blu-ray Forum

coralfangs · 10-28-2009, 06:15 PM

How many times have you made a purchase after you saw the item in the movie?

For me, it's gotta be food featured in the movies.
Specific ones include Supersize me (gave me a huge craving for MacDonalds for some reason), and Little Nicky (popeye's chicken is ****ing awesome).

Blade Runner's product placement worked quite well.

Although after watching Demolition Man, I was craving hotdogs and Taco Bell, and I don't eat Taco Bell... damn subliminal messages.

Kojak (the late Telly Savalas) had his "Botany 500" threads, "Tootsie Pops" and "More" cigarettes!

A strange combination! But it WAS a damn good cop show IMO.

I liked the exploding Pepsi cans fight in Mr. Nice Guy.

After listening to Samuel L. Jackson say it a few times, I was jonesing for a "Royale with Cheese" after watching Pulp Fiction.....

I wanted a tasty beverage (Sprite) to go with by Big Kahuna Burger!

Reese's Pieces have been a life-long addiction for me ever since E.T. came out in the '80's. If I would have known I would still be eating them today I would bought stock in Hershey's a long time ago....

2010 Camaro after watching Transformers.

Actually I already wanted it... but the movie made me want it more and now I've had one since July -- in black.

...another product placement sucess story lol.

Don't forget "Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles" in the film "Tapeheads"!

Not sure if anybody here has even heard of this low budget gem.

You don't need a movie to tell you Roscoe's is good. Love me some Roscoe's.

Sadly I live on the East Coast(VA), but did enjoy Roscoe's and the In- N- Out Burger restaurants when I visited CA a few years back!

When I was in Paris for a week, I made sure to get a Royale with cheese. I have the receipt stored away somewhere with other useless things (maps from museums, some spare coins, etc).
