Other memorable product placements include "No, take the Ford F-150!" and the O.C. ep this year which they should have just called "The Sidekick."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Always Anti-fascist!
As a writer, that makes me want to take a Zantac 150.

No, take the Ford F-150 - Yeah, I remember that one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think I'll try to make some money by doing product placements in my posts....

Other memorable product placements include
CSI: NY shilling for Coldplay. And the CSI: Miami Hummer ad. (Though at least the second one didn't happen on the show itself.)

It would be pretty hard to do product placement on BSG.
OK, Starbuck did drive what was obviously a Hummer, but I think they just wanted her to have a military-type truck and didn't have the time or $ to make something unique.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
the O.C. ep this year which they should have just called "The Sidekick."
Christ, yes. There was absolutely no reason for the plot to hinge so hard on a freaking Sidekick. We even got to see the box.
I like the subtle incorporations, or when it's relevant to the plot (like whatever fancy bag Logan gave Rory in Gilmore Girls) -- the world without brands is weird as hell.

Oh, yeah. I'm so out of the loop that I'd never even heard of that bag 'til I saw that episode.
Oh, and Happy Belated Birthday, Consuela! I hope it was a good one.
