11. All The Oreo Product Placement - Lost In Space (Diamonds In The Sky)

The first season of the new Lost in Space reboot was, honestly, a bit of a mixed bag, and perhaps nothing was more immediately cringe-worthy than the abundance of Oreo product placement.

Oreo is featured prominently in the show's second episode, with characters stopping just short of turning to the camera and talking to the audience directly as they extol the yumminess of the chocolate treats.

In these sequences, the Oreo packaging is typically tilted towards the frame in a way that's hilariously unnatural blocking-wise, and no effort has been made to even make the packaging look remotely futuristic. It looks like an intern just rushed to the store at lunch and grabbed a pack off the shelf.

This was the price to pay for those undeniably gorgeous production values, apparently.
