I'm currently rewatching the SciFi Channel/SyFy Channel series, Eureka. And over several episodes/seasons they poorly integrated Degree antiperspirant. Even made it a literal part of an episodes plot. In the first season, they also poorly integrated the CISCO logo onto the show's office phones (with the worst mid2000's CGI available).

@tsarstepan,
Every Apple MacBook. The logo is so large and the camera is always angled to highlight it.

@engineer,
The extra stupid thing about Apple product placements? And they have this hard written into their marketing contracts. Bad guys in movies and TV series aren't allowed to have any Apple products. So, if a character has an Apple iPhone or computer, you can easily rule them out as suspects in a crime or mystery.

Our English cousins have hokey product placements, too!?!?

Actually sounds like relatively good stuff:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purdey's

Purdey's is a soft drink produced by Orchid Drinks Ltd. which is owned by Britvic.[1] It is sold in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Australia, the Netherlands and Belgium. It is sold in 330ml brown glass bottles with a silver or black plastic label that covers the whole bottle.[2]

There are three variants:

Purdey's Rejuvenate (formerly known as Active Life) - This has a blend of grape (25%) and apple (8%) juices, no added sugar, and Botanical Extracts including Damiana, Oak Bark and Ginsing (0.04%); and is sold in a silver wrapped brown bottle and is suitable for vegans.

Purdey's Refocus - Carbonated Water, Fruit Juices from Concentrate 35% (Grape 25%, Apple 8%, Blackberry 1%, Sloe 1%), Botanical Extracts, no added sugar, and is sold in a silver wrapped brown bottle and is suitable for Vegans.

Purdey's Replenish - Carbonated Water, Fruit Juices from Concentrate 25% (Apple 23%, Raspberry 2%)...Botanical Extracts, no added sugar, and is sold in a silver wrapped brown bottle and suitable for vegans.

Some of these are also available in cans depending on country and stock availability.

Discontinued:

Purdey's Edge - This had a blend of dark fruit juices, no added sugar, and was sold in a dark bottle.

[3]

Purdey's Activation (formerly known as Active Body) - This was marketed as a healthy energy drink, contained a combination of sugars, and was sold in a gold bottle.

All variants are made of fruit juices and sparkling spring water and botanical extracts, and fortified with vitamins.

In some countries, nutritional content labels are required on each product's label.
