Product placement

(a) The Laughing Cow: The creator holds the product, shows the packaging, and explicitly names it as the reason for the skit's resolution. It acts as the subject of the video. Removing it would change the entire premise of the skit. (b) Linktree: Appears in the creator's bio link, which is a link aggregator. Removing it would not change the video content.
