Product placement
(a) Trader Joe's Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini: ACTS — the bottle is shown, opened, and poured into glasses to create the drink. (a) Trader Joe's Cold Foam Creamer: ACTS — the can is shown and operated to dispense foam onto the drinks. (b) Trader Joe's: APPEARS — the brand name is on the bottle and the creamer can, and is tagged in the caption. Removing the brand name would change the video as it identifies the specific products being demonstrated.
