Goonies 'Babe Ruth', E.T. 'M&M's' I recall. Or is that not what you meant?

ET was Reece's pieces. Commonly mistaken for M & Ms. That'd be poor product placement, actually.

The Mountain Dew Soda Machine Robot in transformers. It wasn't "cool" but I won't forget that WTF moment ever.

The Wizard was Nintendo's wet dream for marketting and product placement.

Oh and of course the Reeses's Pieces in E.T.

The official adventure has an objective, it's just a little...abstract, IMO. Party has to sort of just go along with the DM.

I was tossing around the idea of seeing if Twitter people would be interested in a play-by-post thing. No idea how those run tho.

So many people correcting me on M&M's, a clear sign the placement left a lasting impression with most. I'd say it worked.

@pikestaff

the only reason I know it's Reese's Pieces (and not M&Ms) is the countless trivia I've read making a big deal out of it

1:28PM Tue, August 24 2010

@Shatterbound

Hehe, hopefully my comment wasn't dickish-- I think the story goes that M & Ms were supposed to be used but Mars backed out.
