Carolina, Columbia Lines: 22 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?
