Product placement

Costco: ACTS - it is the store where the shopping takes place, and its branding appears on the receipt and storefront. Removing it would change the context of the video. Kirkland Signature: APPEARS - it is the brand of the chicken strips shown on the menu board. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. Paesana: ACTS - it is the brand of organic tomato and basil pasta sauce shown. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. Butcher's: ACTS - it is the brand of organic chicken broth shown. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. Ray-Ban: APPEARS - it is the brand of sunglasses worn by the creator. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
