Pizza Hut and Domino's competed to get both the marketing and product placement. Domino's got the product placement because of their "30 minutes or less" gimmick. While Pizza Hut got the marketing gig, which is why Coming Out of Our Shells happened alongside a commercial featured on the film's original VHS release.

Gerber Singles have to have been the source of the idea for "Bachelor Chow (now with flavor)" from Futurama.

I'll be honest, out of all the commercials, I only liked Heart Attack Grill. And the fact that it exists in the first place. "Hey, do you want to act like a cartoon character in a food binge but with realistic and most likely deadly consequence? Come to our restaurant!"

Jennifer Anistons first movie was Leprechaun. Courtney Coxs was HeMan.

I love that Heart Attack Grill exists. They are not misleading or lying about their food. The fact is, the people who go there go there KNOWING the risks and not being fooled by marketing. Think of how many fats and hidden preservatives are in fast food salads. How about how much sodium is really in all those meat alternatives? A lot of people try to eat healthy but still struggle because of false advertising. The Heart Attack Grill SAYS they are unhealthy so the consequence is truly, fully on the consumer for their own consumption.

Colgate Dinners is actually a genius idea, first people eat the dinner, then they have to brush their teeth with Colgate Toothpaste. I'm neutral on Domino's Mind Ordering promotion, but I ADORE how they brought back the 80s logo and designs. I also see The Noid, and I'm hoping for a full video on the history of Domino's Pizza. Please mention the other Domino's Pizza mascots like Donny & Dottie Domino [there was actually a lawsuit over Donny: Ollie Vs Domino's Pizza Inc], and Bad Andy [who actually drove sales down!].

The problem is this video is so poorly fact-checked they didn't bother to see that it never existed - this listicle is just reading off articles from the Musuem of Failures almost verbatim without realising that the Musuem of Failures is a mix of real-world stories and satire. This one (the Colgate Frozen Dinner) is satire.

There's apparently a museum of failed food items. One of the items are called "Toaster Omelettes".

"Guys, we are constantly being bombarded with people and ads telling us how we can and cannot eat, and just once...just ONCE...I would like to eat something I can actually enjoy without some schmuck telling me all the things about it that's bad for me.

A more interesting aspect of the heart attack grill was completely missed. It started here in Tempe then moved after it was told it couldn't use the red cross as people would apparently think it was a legit medical facility.

The Colgate dinners (lasagna package) are actually mockups and are not real. However, someone did do the digging work, and sometimes around 1960, there was an interview in a magazine with the CEO of Colgate, who wanted to enter the frozen or snack foods market as a way of testing out different revenue streams. They tried some snacks out in Milwaukee iirc, but it only lasted like 6 months.

The unrushed delivery of the script is much easier on the ears.

When I saw the title Mac and me, I thought it was going to be about a guy and his crazy obsession with mac and cheese. I was really disappointed when I saw what it was actually about. Still that could be a funny idea for a movie, something in the vein of Harold and Kumar go to White Castle, but instead of burgers the two stoners are trying to find a store which has boxes of Kraft mac and cheese in stock to solve their munchies.
