Product Placement on Buffy

[smartgirl63]

I have noticed different product placements while rewatching the episodes. Let's see how many different products we can find!

An obvious one is in one of the last lines of Chosen.

Xander: All those shops gone. The Gap, Starbucks, Toys "R" Us. Who will remember all those landmarks unless we tell the world about them?

At various times throughout the series you can see different characters partaking of name brand sodas: Dr. Peeper, Coke, etc.

That's all I can think of for now...

I remember most of the ones folks have mentioned so far.  To me it wasn't as obvious as it is in shows today.

Nexxus had huge product placement, starting in season 4, I think. The hair products were in all the girls' rooms.

I think sometimes the show would lose the endorsement or whatever and they would change it back to generic soda.

Another quote that comes to mind:

Willow: Old trusty soda machine. I push you for root beer, you give me coke.

Yeah, I always wondered why it would sometimes show them with the name brand and sometimes not...

After the first few seasons, I think Apple corners the Sunnydale market on computers.

This.  As an Apple geek I smiled inside.  For me it was a hoot seeing all of the older models again.

Frito-Lay!
I noticed by S5 they must have lost this lucrative contract.
