Product placement

ValueJet: it ACTS as the airline providing the flight from Lagos to Banjul. Removing it would change the video's premise. It also APPEARS as a logo on the snack box and on the plane's livery. Removing these would not change the video's premise. Ribena: it APPEARS as a drink in the snack box. Removing it would not change the video's premise. Nature's Zest Global Ltd: it APPEARS on a package of dried mixed fruits. Removing it would not change the video's premise.
