Is there a list of the real-life products mentioned on Seinfeld. Twix, Saab, Snapple, Yoo-Hoo.

I don't believe Hennigans No-Smell No-Tell Scotch is real!

That would be a good one.

I put a lot in my "game" but I know there are many others. FWIW, the producers have said that they never accepted fees for "product placement". They said they used products they felt would add comedy and a sense of reality to the show.

They plugged for FedEx on a couple of episodes. Namely the FedEx courier inside the apartment building lobby and a FedEx dropbox on the curb in a scene.

As an employee of a competitor to FedEx I always cringe when I watch these episodes.

And the "bizarro Newman" was a UPS driver, I think.

Neuman worked for USPS. He did everything. Delivered mail, went to Detroit, worked the counter.
