Good products placements are seamlessly integrated into a movie or TV programs.

Movies, where product placement was used, are “Wayne’s world” and “Josie and the Pussycats”. In the movie “Wayne's world” characters who plays a main role in the film carry Pepsi, Pizza, Reebok, Hut, and Nuprin. While the characters Wayne and Garth are lambasting when the product placement vignette took place, this is an amusing part of the film. As Wayne says "Contract or no, I will not bow to any corporate sponsor," he opened a Pizza Hut box and pulled a pizza slice from the box.
