Product placement

Barnes & Noble: a bookstore where the creator shops. It merely appears. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. LEGO: a toy brand. The creator purchases LEGO sets. This is an ACT. Removing it would change what happens in the video. Twilight: The Cullen House: a specific LEGO set based on the Twilight movie franchise. This is an ACT. Removing it would change what happens in the video.

Transcript

I have a couple books I'm returning. One is an author that is controversial and I don't agree with what she did. So we're gonna return that one and the other one I realized is not actually a paranormal romance. So we're gonna swap them out for something else today. I've got 2782. Let's see what we can find. I need a fall table. What if we don't get a book? There was a Lego set up behind the counter. There was only one of them. That might be a sign. That might be fate. The Odyssey. Vertigo. Hannah Montana The Movie. The Odyssey. I'm so excited. You're actually gonna die when you see this Lego set. Oh my god. Also, the woman who checked me out, did compliment my sweater. I was too scared to say that I made it. But that made me really happy. Can you believe the size of this? Oh my god. Thank god I got that 10% off with my membership. If that was the euphoria score and not the soundtrack, I would have gotten it. But I am getting this. It's so cute. You're actually gonna die when you see this Lego set.
