ABC tends to do this every Feb as its Heart Disease awareness month. They've actually incorporated the Campbell's product placement into their stories with the Go Red fashion shows and parties, but yeah they tend to go heavy that month. Its for a good cause so I dont mind it.

They only did that in 2008 and 2009. February was Campbell's-Free this year. Not sure which side realized it was a bust, but thank heaven's someone did.

I dont get why they are jumping on Days now as this stuff is old footage from months ago.

Some of them are even older. Cheerios with Bo and Hope is from 2008 or 2009. There was also a midol placement with Chelsea, Stephanie and Morgan in 2008. And in 2004 there was one with Tony and Bart for Special K and Frosted Flakes.

I could care less about product placement, whatever keeps DAYS in the black is fine with me!

That said, the Chinese food plug with Caroline was PAINFUL.

The restaurant was open too. But did Caroline offer Beer Battered Fish and Chips or Clam Chowder? Nope, bitch shut down the kitchen for some WANNNNNNCHAI FERRY!

bellcurve, your new avatar is amazing.

But what I'm really worried about is: Is it a complete meal? Does it come with rice in the bag?!

THERE'S ENOUGH FOR EVERYBODY!

That's why the plug was so laughable, LoL.

They're standing there in a family-owned restaurant... a place where the entire menu is available to kinfolk... and rather than Caroline offering them some fresh grub from the kitchen, she whips out a bag of frozen Chinese food (with rice!) and tells 'em to eat hearty? How dumb.

LMFAO. I don't know but...

LoL, that tiny ass bag would barely feed me alone, much less an entire hungry family.

Have you been living under a rock?! Then you need some Chex Mix. It's like a million different flavors in your mouth at the same time.

I wonder if, when she said that, Alison Sweeney thought of the dual BJs she gives Zucker and Ben Silverman in all her NBC meetings.

That avatar is EVERYTHING! Fantastic!

Stephen Colbert did an amazing bit about this.

If only he did it more often…

Im kinda disgusted how everyone saw one LATE article someone wrote about stuff done on Days months ago and now everyone is taking turns making fun of the show. Probably would have been more relevant when this stuff actually happened.

It's never to late to remind the soaps of their crap. Someone should actually do a multipart special Soap Hilarity Over the Ages!

Colbert had a lot of fun with OLTL when Snoop was on.
