Product placement
Crayola (a brand of markers) appears on the marker used to draw on the chopsticks; it is incidental as the marker is used for its intended purpose. Baker's Corner (a brand of corn starch) appears on the box; it is incidental as the product is used as a generic ingredient. Scotch (a brand of scissors) appears on the scissors; it is incidental as the tool is used for its intended purpose. None of these products are the subject of the video.
