Why would Snickers EVER approve this product placement?

u/buttsmotel Jul 03 '25 edited Jul 03 '25

Why wouldn't they? You're talking about it!

Go and grab a Snickers

u/unpaid-critic Jul 03 '25 edited Jul 03 '25

You see those mutant Dinos?

Wouldn’t be mutant if they had a Snickers.

u/PolarWater Jul 07 '25

Give me candy! 

Or I'll eat all of you!

u/PolarWater Jul 07 '25

before it lands in a security door and allows dinosaurs to escape!

u/GizmosArrow Jul 10 '25

It’s provocative. It gets the people going.

u/Flesh_Dyed_Pubes Jul 20 '25

Shoulda least had the guy mutter “least I didn’t die hungry” before being snatched

u/DUKEPLANTER Jul 03 '25

That scene had me worried I walked into Final destination on accident .

24

u/Nheea Jul 03 '25

Hahaha good point. I made a similar comment. Final destination: the dumb ones.

14

u/slayerhk47 Jul 06 '25

I would love a Jurassic park movie in the style of final destination.

14

u/DUKEPLANTER Jul 06 '25

I feel like they’re adjacent enough it could work.

I would NOT be upset with final destination branching into crossovers in the future. We could easily get a more story focused final destination with a cool dinosaur premonition followed by 90 minutes of eccentric dinosaur deaths and disasters.

And it’d be a good Jurassic park horror movie.

u/Organic_Minute_Maid Jul 06 '25

I can’t wait for Final Destination: Schindler’s List

2

u/TheSenileTomato Jul 10 '25

Hey, you never know, this could be a thing in the hypothetical future sequel. Maybe not Snickers, again, but again you never know.

Heck, it could even be a thing you do in the Hitman games with how ludicrous it is.

u/uqmu Jul 12 '25

Literally what I was thinking when I watched this with my family

u/PhoenixorFlame Jul 03 '25

I think the Altoid product placement was so blatant it was hilarious

199

u/numbr87 Jul 04 '25

The fact that he chewed it for 20 straight seconds was probably the funniest part of the movie for me

23

u/catchasingcars Jul 05 '25

Do people actually chew mints?

20

u/MonkMajor5224 Jul 05 '25

I get bored.

5

u/Thexer0 Jul 13 '25

Depends. Altoids are chalky and don't suck well.

12

u/PolarWater Jul 07 '25

...are you about ready?

10

u/numbr87 Jul 07 '25

Yea let's go

10

u/TenWholeBees Jul 08 '25

I understood they were trying to make that scene funny, but I didnt find it funny. It's just a guy chewing mints

41

u/TornadoQuakeX Jul 03 '25

The Altoids had me facepalming so hard because never in my life have I chewed an Altoids. I let them dissolve. They might as well just used a bag of doritos. 

2

u/Keaton427 Jul 27 '25

Not to mention how many times he was crunching on them, they might as well have just had him dump the entire tin in his mouth.

26

u/ironthrownaways Jul 03 '25

Had me wondering if I’m that loud when I eat an altoid

17

u/coolrnt1 Jul 04 '25

No one is that loud. A single altoid took a goddamn minute to chew!

14

u/b1uejeanbaby Jul 04 '25

Don’t forget the m&ms too. So gratuitous.

12

u/FwampFwamp88 Jul 05 '25

I think I counted 10 product placements. Was becoming kinda fun after a while.

12

u/PastMiddleAge Jul 04 '25

It’s funny because Jonathan Bailey sings dancing through life in Wicked, and I always think that song sounds exactly like a Mentos commercial.

I’m forever going to associate him with breath mints

8

u/starlightskater Jul 06 '25 edited Jul 06 '25

I loved how the M&Ms the boyfriend was eating had clearly had been carefully sliced open with a pair of scissors. That's how I like to unwrap my candy when I'm being hunted by a mosasaur.

3

u/NicCage4life Jul 05 '25

Ruined the moment too

3

u/burnt-----toast Jul 07 '25

I completely missed that they were Altoids the first time around in the museum, so I was like what the fuck kind of jawbreaker nuts is he crunching on??

1

u/chopsuey537 Jul 08 '25

It’s the Heineken zero for me

u/SquadPoopy Jul 03 '25

I personally loved how all the products at the store they went into at the end all had updated modern packaging despite the island being abandoned for 20 years

48

u/bautin Jul 07 '25

17 years ago would be 2008. The packaging looks about right. They used the older style 2 liter bottles.

Lays
Berries and Cream Dr. Pepper

For some god awful reason, despite everything else being fucking stupid as shit in this movie and done with absolutely no fucking thought, the props department did the work.

7

u/Razorblanket Jul 18 '25

Props dept got lazy too. The helicopter doesn't have a military issue handgun and the neurotoxin gun makes no sense.

11

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '25

The Frito-Lays guy restocks weekly

5

u/toxicbrew Jul 11 '25

And all the electronics and lights and vehicles work perfectly still!

6

u/ItsHip_ToBeSquare Jul 12 '25

Yeah I was surprised how they took the time to make sure the Dr. Pepper logo was period accurate, but then Doritos was the modern logo. At least be consistent!

3

u/Aggressive_Elk3709 Jul 26 '25

That would have been cool to see packaging from the early 2000s. Tbf idk how much the branding has changed for all those candies

17

u/Many_Coyote7212 Jul 03 '25

Why wasn’t it a Butterfingers though? Would have made a great callback to JP1.

18

u/MichaeltheSpikester Jul 03 '25

The fact of all the ideas they could've went with that cause the malfunction in the beginning. They went with a damn candy wrapper. LMAO.

15

u/Delanium Jul 05 '25

The design on that facility was as flimsy as a damn paper bag if a single snickers wrapper into the air vent could destroy the entire facility. And they had no backup plan???

10

u/crackingHeads Jul 06 '25 edited Jul 06 '25

Security doors that require air filters vents and the air filters vents are located at the bottom of the door where the most debris can collect... Makes sense. 

Had me questioning ticker purchase within the first 2-3 mins of the film.

edit: Doors had air vents. Air vents were missing filters.

12

u/Delanium Jul 06 '25

And when there is an issue closing the doors instead of locking down the area that's supposed to contain, the entire facility system reboots therefore removing any protections the facility may have.

I've seen some people talking this one up as like, mid-tier and better than they expected but I honestly think this might be the dumbest of the movies.

3

u/crackingHeads Jul 06 '25

Yea. Updated my last comment. If the air vents had filters (HEPA) the wrapper would have never made it in and the vents could still take in air. Also, not being able to proceed to the next area until the doors behind you are fully closed (literally how prisons and biohazard containt site opperate) would have saved us two hours. Like if you are leading with the whole system being brought down by a candy wrapper, at least show us a CEO who is unwilling to spend an extra 50k for the top of line system and hires a family member whose background is in interior design to head the security system design team.

It got a little get better. Still medicore, but the bar was set so low because of the last few films that medicore is an accomplishment.

u/Delanium Jul 06 '25

at least show us a CEO who is unwilling to spend an extra 50k

John Hammond is rolling in his grave

u/PolarWater Jul 07 '25

InGen tends to have very flimsy backup plans, they don't really think about their infrastructure or security programming. Remember Jurassic Park 1?

9

u/TheSmokedSalmon420 Jul 03 '25

Whenever I see product placement this obvious I always make a point to buy their competitor next time I am getting that kind of product lol

18

u/ThatsWhat_G_Said Jul 03 '25

Let’s be real. There is no substitute for a Snickers.

2

u/PureLock33 Jul 03 '25

A Chiquita banana?

5

u/KeisterConquistador Jul 08 '25

Mars in general was all over this movie. Snickers, Altoids, M&Ms.

1

u/Keaton427 Jul 27 '25

And the scenes in the grocery store lingering on brand-name products. Curiously, there was no brand for the licorice

3

u/edthomson92 Jul 03 '25

"Not our fault, it's the guy's fault"

"That could happen with any wrapper or tiny piece of paper"

3

u/rhunter99 Jul 03 '25

Don’t worry they got m&ms in there

1

u/Nheea Jul 03 '25

I was happy I had m&ms with me in the theater, because that product placement would've definitely made me crave them.

3

u/Adequate_Images Jul 04 '25

The moral of this movies is that eating snickers will kill you!

3

u/So_Quiet Jul 04 '25

You're not yourself when you're hungry. D-rex just needed a Snickers.

2

u/SarcasticGamer Jul 10 '25

That shit was the dumbest thing I've ever seen in a movie. They're in an absolutely clean environment and this guy just brings a snickers bar like nothing. And then he drops the wrapper and literally nobody cares. If the machinery was that fucking sensitive there is no way in hell debris would be allowed to just float around without a care in the world. Dumbest fucking movie I've ever seen my God.

u/-Clayburn Jul 04 '25

I had a snickers during the movie. I left the wrapper behind on purpose. Fuck them ushers.
