From ET to Entertainment Tonight

The first major product placement I can remember is the use of Reese's Pieces in the film ET. After M&Ms passed on the chance to be featured, Hershey picked up on the opportunity -- resulting in one of the more successful candy launches.

This weekend, Brandchannel launched Brandcameo, a new service that tracks product placements in new movies -- as well as films dating back two years. It's an interesting inside look at what movies might move what products -- and there are some interesting trivial highlights: Cap'n Crunch got placed in the Butterfly Effect, while Lucky Charms made Kill Bill Vol. 2.
