Product placement
Slim Jim: (a) ACTS — the creator shows the product packaging, demonstrates its size, and explains that it contains 10 sticks. Removing it would change the entire video as it is the sole subject. Sam's Club: (a) ACTS — the creator identifies the store as the location where the product is found and mentions the price. Removing it would change the context of where to purchase the item.
