   Subway is huge on Chuck. Fans are even buying subway subs in support of the show and stars Zach Levi and Adam Baldwin just bought 400 UK fans subway sandwiches at an event.

   Chris Brogan pointed out that he had seen Cisco in Marvel Comics.

   I also know that on 24, they use Sprint heavily as the handheld of choice. I’m pretty sure Cisco has a reasonable presence there as well — it’s even in the script in some episodes.

   The one movie I always think of when I think “holy product placement, Batman” is HOME ALONE! I think every single scene in that movie has something to do with Pepsi!

   ER many (10?) years ago used to always have Seattle’s Best Coffee at the coffee stand outside the hospital. We were new to Seattle, so I noticed it.

   Hey, those are my morning news people here in Vegas The new 90210 is HUGE on Dr. Pepper. They drink it all the time, and when they go to the “Peach Pit” to eat, it’s all Dr. Pepper on the tables with Dr. Pepper signs hanging on the walls.

    One of the most blatant, overuses that comes to mind is an episode of Smallville where a character gets powers by eating meteor affected Stride Gum. The entire episode is basically a commercial. They even use Stride catch phrases from commercials. http://www.commercialexploitation.org/news/smallville.htm

    Apple/Mac on “The Celebrity Apprentice,” and “The Real World/Road Rules Challenge” series have product placement all over the place (in the form of prizes).

    The movie Spanglish starring Adam Sandler, Tea Leoni and Paz Vega had one of the most obscure product placements ever. There’s actually a seen in the movie where California Grapes are the product that’s being advertised…but you wouldn’t know it because they look just like any other grapes.

    How about The Italian Job? Dell had some great placement when the hacker was working on his laptop, but the real winner was the Mini Cooper. Perfect product placement mix:
    - the product was vital to the plot
    - it was shown over and over and over again, even as the focus of many scenes
    - it was in a good move (larger audience, well received, etc).

    I noticed that a lot of my “computer savvy” friends and I (all of us nerds) and a lot of “computer savvy” people smoke parliament cigarettes. I figured out the origin of this habit of these specific cigarettes in this specific group of people. In the movie “Hackers” one of the characters smokes parliament cigarettes.
