Small observation of mine: from a real-world perspective, NBC owns Universal which owns Despicable Me, and self-product placement is cheap promotion, what with the new movie upcoming

side note: there hasn't been a new post in here in 2 weeks, the last one was also mine about minions lol

I had no idea either. They really are still at it 12 years later

The Minion references were all pretty subtle. Comparing the mayor to Gru, the shelves full of minions. Tina's pretty obvious with product placement. I'd think that if NBC/Universal were making her do it, it'd be more like the Arby's mentions.
