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.

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).

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. http://vistagroupusa.com/SpanglishGrapes.jpg http://vistagroupusa.com/serv02.htm The movie Spanglish starring Adam Sandler, Tea Leoni and Paz Vega had one of the most obscure product placements ever.
