I think its even weirder when you watch shows that use generic products because it stands out as even weirder than just using a name brand product. For example, if a character is drinking a can "Cola", its weird and funny. If they're drinking a coke, who cares, everyone drinks coke, real world or not.
werd. doesnt bother me either.
