It is part of the rapidly expanding entertainment industry reaching millions of people daily through movies, television, and video.  (Source:  MMI Product Placement)With the advent of new technologies, which allow home TV viewers, to zap (erase) commercials, advertisers have invented new ways of integrating their product into the plot of programs.Product placement is a big business. Although it is rumored that product placement began in 1982 with Reese's Pieces in E.T., the truth is that it had been a growing practice decades before. The film ET with all its product placements, almost 2 dozen different brands in all, helped bring awareness and discussion of the practice to the public.
