Product placement

Starbucks: ACTS - a coffee shop chain where the creator buys and refills drinks. Removing it would change the video's location and subject. Starbucks app: ACTS - used to order and pay for drinks, and to access rewards. Removing it would change the video's method of purchase and reward redemption. Starbucks Rewards card: ACTS - scanned to redeem rewards. Removing it would prevent the reward redemption.
