"This Note's for You"


Let's talk product placement. In movies, in music, it has been around for all of our lives, so I decided what could be better than to devote a quiz to it?

1.) Everybody knows that E.T. ate Reese's Pieces candy, but what beer did he drink?

2.) Name a company closely associated with the Tom Hanks film Castaway.

3) Name the product mentioned during prayer in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.

4.) The first season of The Flintstones was sponsored by what cigarette company?

5.) In the movie Evolution (It's about an alien species that imagine this evolves) David Duchovny, Julieanne Moore, Orlando Jones, and Seann William Scott take on the invading horde with what hair care product?

6.) Not counting the car... name at least three prominently displayed products in the Back to the Future trilogy.

7.) What company won the Franchise Wars in Demolition Man?

8.) It's February 1989 and Madonna was about to release the video to "Like a Prayer" What drink company payed her 5 million dollars to star in a commercial that was pulled from the airwaves almost before it aired?

9.) What make and model is a "Little Deuce Coupe" that the Beach Boys sing about?

10.) Minority Report included eye scanning advertising that spoke to you; directly. Name a company that addressed Tom Cruise's character.

11.) What kind of shoe does Will Smith wear in I, Robot?

12.) What kind of car is K.I.T.T. ?

13.) What Brand of Pizza do the Turtles eat in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie?

14.) What brand of computer helped save the world in Independence Day?

15.) And finally... What movie was essentially an hour and a half long commercial for Nintendo, specifically Super Mario Brothers 3?

Did I miss any of your favorites? Let me know!
