Line 9: * As mentioned above, kids' meals often come with toys themed after a big-name intellectual property. The fast food joint inevitably makes sure everybody in the country knows. Not every chain engages in these shenanigans, though. * Speaking of fast food, Burger King/Hungry Jack's created the [[Iron Man]] Burger around the release of ''[[Iron Man (film)\|Iron Man 2]]''. Their Japanese branch offered a special-edition Whopper promoting the launch of Microsoft Windows 7. [https://www.mashed.com/637143/burger-king-japans-windows-7-whopper-was-almost-impossible-to-eat/ Appropriately, it had '''seven patties''', ~~and~~ sold for ¥777, and was only available for 7 days.] Also, their Rodeo Burger, which was developed to promote the awful ''[[Wild Wild West]]'' remake film. The food promotion outlasted the film by several years, and managed to get copied by other restaurants. ** Their [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/BBQ_Double_Stackticon BBQ Double Stackticon] for ''[[Transformers (film)\|Transformers]]: Revenge of the Fallen''. Line 17: * In the 2010 NBA playoffs, you saw this one a lot—there were ads for the new ''[[Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time]]'' movie, interspersed with shots of basketball players doing manly things. [[ESPN]] absolutely loves this trope, really. ''[[Sports Center]]'' tends to be littered with [[Enforced Plug]]s for pretty much every movie Disney (who owns 80% of the network) wants to hype up, and even some non-Disney ones. Since obviously its players are right within its demographics, ESPN's coverage of the Little League World Series is always peppered with [[Disney Channel]] cross-promotion nowadays... as in having acts related to Disney Channel's Flavor of the Month perform a [[Title Theme Tune]] and appear in [[~~Eyecatches~~eyecatch]]es, advertisements, etc. In recent years,{{when}} these have included the [[Jonas Brothers]], ''[[High School Musical]]'', etc. Though, beginning in 2010, its been ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' themed, complete with a parody of the show's usual intro. * There was a commercial (probably featured on one of those "best commercial" shows) that started out as a Haagen-Dazs ad, complete with a passionate couple in bed with the yogurt.{{verify~~}}<!--~~ \|reason=MOD: I thought Haagen-Dazs made ice cream, not yogurt. ~~-->~~}} At one point they run out, so the guy goes to the refrigerator to get more... and his attention turns to the Fosters lager near it. Next thing you know, he's drinking beer and watching the game. * VISA made a number of entire commercials for real life vacation resorts and such, then noting at the end that said location doesn't accept American Express, so be sure to bring your VISA card instead. They do the same with the [[Olympic Games]]. * On a more local level, an Austin, Texas, bodyshop had a commercial with a local roofing company owner, where he'd talk about the bodyshop, then move to shilling his own company before being fussed at by the director. Both were advertising hail damage repair.
