Line 334:
** [[Product Placement|Makes perfect sense]].
** Cue ''[[Spooks]]'', a BBC show, courting some controversy when [[Sky News]] popped up in an episode.
* In the university canteen on ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'' soft drinks such as Dr Peeper and Diet Cola are sold in cans identical to the real life brands. Sheldon's non-existantexistent cousin (who was made up to fool Penny) had apparently escaped rehab and was staying at a Motel 8.
** After being disappointed by the taste of orange juice and amount of crispiness of a toasted english muffin in one episode of ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'', Sheldon addresses a tub of margarine.
{{quote|'''Sheldon:''' I have no trouble believing you're not butter.}}
* [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|The re-imagined ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'']] had a Spaceline called Pan Galactic which used an identical symbol to Pan Am, examples of which can be seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20140226130510/http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/File:Pan_Galactic_profile.jpg here] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20140226115704/http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/File:PanGalactic.jpg here].
** This was apparently a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]'' rather than a get around for copyright. Which would make slightly more sense [[In-Universe]] since the series is set over a 150,000 years prior to Pan Am ever existing.
** It kinda also sounds like a shout out to Hitchhiker's Guide's Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.
