Product placement

Spanglish Asadero Carne Asada Seasoning: ACTS - used to season meat mixture, making it more flavorful. Removing it would change the taste of the final product. Magnolia Table by Joanna Gaines cookbook: APPEARS - visible on the counter, does not affect the video's content. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
