Product placement

Arizona Jean Co. (brand of pants) - appears on a tag on the pants, does not act. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. Measure app (app on iPhone) - is used to measure the pants, its interface is operated, a visible result comes from it (measurements). Removing it would change what happens in the video.
