Product placement
Tic Tac Toe The Game (a board game): (a) ACTS — the creator opens the box, displays the game board and pieces, and places it in her shopping basket. Walmart (a retail store): (b) APPEARS — the store environment and shelf tags are visible; removing it would not change the product being demonstrated.
