Re observations of commercial tie ins in _Back to the Future_ :

I recally hearing a piece on _All Things Considered_ about the marketing
of these product references. The interviewer talked to someone from the
national rasin council (or something similar) about how much they paid to
get a big rasin eating scene in BTTF, and my sister saw a similar reference 
to this fact in an advertizing trade magazine.  However, neither of us
can remember such a scene.  (We noticed the pepsi plugs) 
I wonder if the council will get their money back, or if their efforts 
will be fruitless and shrivel up ?


			Or is it just sour grapes?
