What brands of breakfast cereal are in Jerry's cupboard? I have noticed Honeycomb and Quaker oats Toasted oatmeal cereal. Elaine was eating out of Reeses peanut butter puffs box on 2/9 episode. Can anyone recognize any other brands? They must get compensation for such blatent exposure as the box Elaine was holding? George drinks Diet Coke, maybe Pepsi pays the show to get George to do this?

This is not intended to be inflammatory, but...

Geez, I am so tired about this product endorsement/what kind of ____ is that on Jerry's desk? stuff. People like the show because of its relatively realistic scenarios, and yet if a character utters a product name, he/she is criticized. I suppose if Jerry and Elaine said "Diluted Fruit Juice?" instead of "Snapple?" to Marla the Virgin, it would have been funnier. Besides, having a cereal box doctored up to look generic is rather cheap and would gather more attention than a regular cereal box because people are not used to seeing such things.

No flames please,

Dave

I also get tired of this complaining. Look at movies for real product placement, where everytime someone drinks a Coke, it has to be facing the camera, all products have to have the names clearly displayed, etc. On Seinfeld, products are mentioned and used in a realistic way. I'd rather catch glimpses of real products and hear mentions of names than have everything masked like they used to do on TV.

What About: Snapple 'The Virgin' Doesn't criticize Jerry (or Elaine) she just says No thanks

Products used in a realistic way? Ha! ....Ha HA!

I see these products being mocked along with the commercial label shots
you describe.  Seinfeld: endorse a product when you have the best show?
Nah, Mock it!
