I guess it is a matter of taste from viewer to viewer. To me a product 
being noticable in the same shot for an extended period of time is not 
throwing it in one's face. To me that is not focused on. Very subjective. 
I didn't mind at all the Oreo cookies used when the first hints of the 
arrival of Martian Manhunter last season was okay because it was part of 
the character's mythos.
