I love me some pasta and pesto! I’m sure this is not the same as fresh or refrigerated pesto but when SHTF it will definitely suffice! #Kinders #VanLife #FoodieLife #TinyKitchen #MicroPrep
(a) Kinder's Seasoning (Pesto) ACTS — the creator holds it, shows the label, and explains why she is buying it (it does not require refrigeration). Removing this would change the video as it is the sole subject of the review. (b) Marshalls APPEARS — the store location is mentioned and visible in the background, but the video is not promoting the store itself.
