BACK TO THE FUTURE

Another great film made possible by the inclusion of several household name brands.

 

 

 

In the first Back to the Future film, the placement of brands was fairly subtle, as in the case of Pepsi products being seen at the dinner table, or a Toyota truck pulling over into a Texaco service station.

Both the Miller Brewing Company and Budweiser were visible in Hill Valley, with trucks from both companies on the streets in 1985, and cans of both Lite Beer and Bud Lite present in the McFly family refrigerator.

 

After wrecking George McFly's car while drinking beer, Biff Tannen took a light beer from the refrigerator and complained about it. In 1955, only Miller Beer was present in Hill Valley; Marty passed a delivery truck on his way into downtown, and Sam Baines had an open bottle of the beer at his dinner table. Lorraine Baines McFly drank Popov vodka.

The McFly family kitchen included such products as Scott Towels, Raid insecticide, Pledge wash, Kellogg's Cocoa Krispies (and two other Kellogg's cereals, the names of which are almost completely obscured on-screen), Maxwell House coffee, Wonder Bread, McCormick pepper, French's Instant Potatoes and French's mustard, and Scott bathroom tissue. George McFly purchased Sophie Mae peanut brittle. The family played board games, and "The Game of Life", made by Milton Bradley, sat near the television.

The Doc fed Einstein both Kal Kan canned dog food and Milk Bone dog biscuits. In 1955, he had fed Copernicus Milk Bone dog biscuits as well. At Lou's Cafe, Mounds and Almond Joy candy bars were sold at the cash register.

In George Gipe's Back to the Future novelization, George McFly is eating Rice Krispies at Lou's Cafe, but this cannot count as an example of product placement as the cereal is never referred to by name on-screen, and is not visible.
