Product placement

Les BBQ (The Oxtail King) ACTS - it is a restaurant that sells food, specifically an "Oxtail Bowl Richmond" for $69.99. Removing it would change what happens in the video. Motiv8tray (creator's handle) APPEARS - it is the creator's TikTok handle and does not affect the video's content.
