Congratulations on your first product placement.
I hope this project starts making you money,or that you guys at least break even.

I know you guys are going to get a lot "sellout" comments and what not.

But just ignore them. You guys are doing a great job and we all enjoy your work so keep it up!

Thanks,

Wow, subtle. Like a bulldozer.

I didn't find the inclusion of the gum to be intrusive or cheesy, at all. Considering it was an in-story advertisment, I thought it was fine, and I wasn't bothered by it at all.

It was good, and hopefully earned you guys some cash!!

Not bad. I'm glad it was done in this, a lighter video, where it seemed a bit more realistic.

Well, especially since they asked our opinion well beforehand, I don't think any of us has anything too much to complain about. The numbers were really very telling!

Out of 176 voters, it seems as if only 3 people would absolutely quit watching. The totals were:

Go for it! I like candy.
47% ( 84 )

I can live with it. The show must go on, and gas is expensive.
43% ( 77 )

I'm pretty disappointed, but I'll keep watching. Don't you guys have a rich uncle?
2% ( 4 )

I really, really, really hate it... but I'll keep watching.
4% ( 8 )

Not over my dead body. I mean it.
1% ( 3 )

There was one kind of obnoxious cut at the candy that wasn't needed, it was less then a second long... so no biggie i guess.

i know what cut your talking about, which is why I'm saying it was either too natural or jsut cheesey.

Congrats guys either way!

I thought the product placement was fine. Natural. And liked how they incorporated brees silly personality into it with her shoving them into her mouth and giggling.

ANd it kinda made me want some sour gum.

I actually had to go and check to make sure that this was the product placement. However, I think that's just because I'm obtuse.

Ah, fiddle, Lass, you're one of the least obtuse folks around here!

I think they did an excellent job with the product placement.

It didn't feel in any way like a commercial, and I for one was not annoyed by it at all. It was pretty realistic. If it had been like a commercial, then I would gripe, I hate commercials.

I think it turned out just fine. I almost got a goofy vibe on it like the product placement sketch on Wayne's World.

Thanks, cher (do you mind if I call you cher?) -- it's sweet of you to say so. But I wasn't joking -- I seriously thought, "Is this the product placement?" Even though I knew a candy placement was coming.

Then again, neither my ears nor my computer's speakers work very well, so I missed the name of the candy the first time around.

I will confess to being one of the three folks who responded "Over my dead body" in the original poll, so I thought I should mention how I reacted to the actual placement.
