A Short Video Of The History Of Product Placement [VIDEO]

Product placement, product placement Taco Bell.  Beefy Burrito - Nacho Burrito.  That's a little song from one of my favorite stupid movies - Kung Pow.  There is also reference to Neosporin in the movie.  In the movie, they do it to be funny.  But every day we are bombarded by subliminal product placement in our favorite shows.  Fred and Wilma Flintstone split a pack of Winstons while Bugs Bunny unironically urges the children of America to drink the Kool-Aid.

They’re not all really product placements — some are just ads — but it’s still a cool  trip through the history of subliminal (and not so subliminal) marketing.
