Product placement
Calico Critters: a toy brand that makes collectible animal figurines and playsets. The toys ACT in the video as the subject of the creator's commentary. Removing them would change what happens in the video. Meijer: a retail store chain. The store APPEARS as the location where the toys were found. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
