Product placement

Messi (football player) - appears as the subject of the conversation. Removing him would change the video's topic. CupCo (manufacturer of reusable cups) - appears as the creator's bio link, which is the product being promoted. Removing it would mean the product is not identified. Leo Messi (football player) - mentioned as the subject of the conversation. Removing him would change the video's topic.
