One Woman's Quest II 
🙂 Thoughtful prompt! Encountered quite a bit of shameless product placement while watching Sonic the Hedgehog movie this past valentine’s day. Nevertheless, it was such an enjoyable film that although many critics noticed it, they still gave it a positive review.

Sorry I didn’t have a chance to put a post together for this week, however I thought of it at the grocery store. All the candy and cheese balls and chips right by the register. That’s product placement – which has been that way since I was a kid. Now there are small coolers with soda there too. Gee. Such NOT healthy options. What would happen, I thought, if they put apples and oranges in the coolers. Bananas on those racks. Along with small packs of graham crackers or less junky crackers. That’s me the idealist and retired dietitian thinking crazy stuff again. If nothing else, perhaps there would be less whining by toddlers in their cart seats. Or not…because they’d be munching on an apple – which would cost the same as a pack of Skittles. I can dream, can’t I? 🙂

Agreed! Those shelves next to the checkout making shopping with kids a nightmare. Obviously it works for impulse buyers. I like your ideas.

How the world changed when props became advertising, but I like the duality and binary nature of this, playful yet real, conditioned!

I was trying to think when it happened, I thought it was in the 70s. Thank you for the kind words Liz.

I think ET’s Reese’s Pieces played a big role in getting product placement in movies started?

For sure! I know I wasn’t aware of it until it was pointed out to me as a form of advertising.
