This looks a lot like suffering.
One part of me hates product placement in movies and music, but another part of me respects effective marketing.

That recorder toy in Home Alone 2 comes to mind as an example. Also Reese's Pieces in E.T.

Conversely cars, phones, and computers in movies I usually can't respect at all for some reason. Maybe it's because they aren't subtle enough about it with jamming the logos on the screen. It makes me actively hate the brands.

Deodorant when first sold didn't do well. People bathed already so they thought they were clean. Marketers had to come up with the paranoid fantasy that you might stink and nobody is telling you. Once that got into the public's heads, deodorant became a part of our routine.
