There's this technique (?) in USA comedy which is 'brand or product specificity to increase plausibility/imaginability' that once you notice it you can't not notice. For e.g.
Normal routine "I was there, minding my own business eating an icecream when a seagull shit on my head"
USA routine "I was there, midning my own business eating a Klondike Bar when a seagull shit on my head"
but it's really just another reflection of the capitalist realism that pervades USAian media
