In stuff like this I don’t give a shit about product placement honestly. When it’s a movie that’s just incredibly stupid dumb fun who gives a shit, you know? And then there’s shit like the power rangers where I still, to this day, say the Krispy Kreme product placement was brilliant.
I can’t remember the Power Rangers one off the top of my head, but my go to example of good product placement, that was even integral to the storyline, was the movie Evolution. Head and Shoulders was so subtly woven into things in act 3, then right at the end all the main characters did a bit promotion, and that part had me laughing my head off.
Olive Garden was just randomly shoehorned in, not once but 3 times, with the first Sonic movie. That really broke the immersion for me and harmed my enjoyment.
Maybe not being bothered by it is more of a US thing, what with the nature of TV ads over there.

Because, after all, it truly is a special place.
