Product placement
Klarna: ACTS - mentioned as a buy now, pay later service used to lease an iPhone and buy makeup. Removing it would change the message about financing options. Afterpay: ACTS - mentioned as a buy now, pay later service. Removing it would change the message about financing options. Speed Queen: APPEARS - a washing machine brand visible on the appliance. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
