Taco Bell?


Does anyone know if they actually received money from Taco Bell? I would assume so, but I'm just curious. That was one of the funniest scenes to me, just the blatant product placement with a little jingle thrown in.

It was the second best product placement in a movie. The first, of course, goes to Wayne's World.


Anyway, this cake is great. It's so delicious and moist.

I would assume not. This was a very low-budget film produced by individuals. This movie would have probably been considered too small to have product placement.

Likewise, I don't think CNN paid for product placement either. Or Neosporin. Or the Farmer's Alliance of Nut-Growers.

Except they say its a product placement and Taco Bell gets a 'Special Thanks' credit.

Maybe they got Taco Bell's permission to use the line.

Taco Bell in ancient China? Haha only in this nonsense fest.

In french he says "de la plublicite gratuite pour taco bell" meaning "free publicity for taco bell"

So I take it that it was free publicity.
