When a script calls for a consumer product, and no one has offered the producers a Product Placement deal, a television program must resort to making up a brand — or, in some cases, obscuring a real brand so that it can't be identified. Another technique is to make a lookalike that doesn't show the actual brand name — for instance, a bright-red soft drink can inscribed, in white letters, "Cola", or using similar-sounding or similar-meaning words: "McDaniels", "Burger Queen", and so on.
Under Canadian broadcast regulations, product placement is considered a form of payola and is strictly forbidden. To prevent even the appearance of product placement, real brand names can't be shown on locally-produced TV shows. Dramas, comedies, and even cooking and home improvement shows have to block out the brand names of the items they use or replace them with Brand X (TV sports and news/current affairs programs are exempt, the first because the advertising can't be controlled and the second because news programs may have to report a story specifically about a product, and also because they can do whatever they damn well want). These rules don't affect imported shows, but "Canadian content" regulations limit the number of those that can be shown.
In the UK, product placement was forbidden until February 2011, but there's also the issue of "undue prominence", wherein a particular brand is, outside of any product placement agreement, given excessive exposure (Mitchell and Webb noted this in great style with the conclusion that a porn scene about a satellite TV installer would have to be a gang-bang to ensure no single brand was given undue prominence). DJs on BBC radio will add that "other brands/suppliers of [product] are available" if someone says to buy their book on Amazon or Google for information, practically as a running gag.note This, in itself, extends from the semi-frequent adverts for the formerly-BBC owned Radio Times listings magazine that were shown on the BBC's television channels; each would always bear the legend "other listings magazines are available", to make it clear that the publicly-funded BBC was not the only provider of such information.
Sometimes fictional products can become story elements in and of themselves, either as part of the "world background" of a show, or as running gags.
Films with blatant product placements, such as The Thomas Crown Affair (1999), usually have them obscured when they are syndicated.
In addition to Brand X, some movie and TV producers may choose to use discontinued products as a point of style. Quentin Tarantino is known for using boxes of discontinued cereal in his movies, such as "Fruit Brute" (Which has since been recontinued). Tommy Shelby smokes a discontinued cigarette brand in Peaky Blinders, which was popular during the timespan the show is set.
At one time this was a universal practice in advertising, allowing a marketer to compare his product to a competitor without actually naming the competitor and reminding the viewer of why he might prefer it. The competitor would often be referred to as "the leading brand", giving rise to the question, "if your product is so good, why is the other brand leading?" In the last two decades, advertising has gotten bolder, and it is more common to see a real competing product in an ad than not — or at least a minimally veiled reference to a competing product (ie, a detergent box with the basic design and color scheme of Tide, but no logo). The practice of explicitly naming the competition was arguably begun by the great McDonald's/Burger King ad wars of the late '70s and early '80s (specifically, in a Burger King commercial starring a then-four-year-old Sarah Michelle Gellar). There was also the Pepsi Challenge where Pepsi ran ads showing in blind taste tests, people preferred Pepsi over Coke.
However, in some cases it may be mandatory. For example, in Germany it used to be against the law to compare your product to a competitor's product when it was identifiable. Even now, the "laws against unfair competition" allow only verifiable objective comparisons without diminishing the competitor, legally regulated to a point where advertisers rather take a pass on comparisons than risk exposing themselves to lawsuits.
In some kinds of advertisement, items other than the one advertised that would normally be used in its own branded packaging will be found in some kind of neutral or unbranded packaging. The most common examples of this are advertisements for cereals, in which milk will be poured from clear glass jugs rather than the carton or bottle it is sold in. It is probable that this is done in order to reuse the advertisement in different countries as much as for avoiding giving exposure to those other products.
Incidentally, the notion of using fake brands that resemble the real brand (Using a pear instead of an apple, for instance) is being seen by marketers as something that improves awareness of the real brand. Amusingly, they're calling it Product Displacement.
A Super-Trope to Bland-Name Product (where it's an obvious parody of an actual brand), Acme Products (any generic corporation that seems to supply everything a character, or entire cast, uses), A.K.A.-47.
Not to be confused with the band Brand X, the antagonistic faction in Foodfight! (though they are named after this trope) or Russell Brand's series on FX.

The various full-heal foodstuffs in Shin Megami Tensei IV are based on real-life Japanese food items, with the bartenders even calling them ersatzes. For example, the bartender in Ueno gives you an ersatz croquette based on the ones from the "Niku-no-something" grocery store.

In The Kraken Wakes by John Wyndham, the main character works for the EBC (English Broadcasting Company). It gets extensively lampshaded — a Running Gag is that every character is introduced saying "don't you mean BBC?", and later gets subverted, when the government takes over the media and the narrator explicitly mentions that the EBC and BBC are now one and the same.

Fictional fast-food brand "Amigo Tacos" is used as a throwaway name in an early episode of the anime El Cazador de la Bruja. The name is brought back several times in later episodes, gaining a logo, official waitress uniform and annoying commercial jingle. Eventually an entire episode is set in an "Amigo Tacos" restaurant.

Pear computers show up as a running gag in shows produced by Dan Schneider, such as Zoey 101 and iCarly. The latter expanded the Pear product line with other parodies of Apple products, including the PearPod, the PearPhone, and the PearPad (which is literally a pear-shaped tablet.)
A Sam & Cat episode lampshades this further, by having Sam point out that a show on TV can't use Pear computers, so they have to use Banana instead.

The city in Dick Tracy is purposely designed to resemble a four-color Sunday comic strip brought to life, and as such, has no brand names. Tracy opens a can of chili that only has the word "chili" on the label, a medicine bottle has simply "aspirin" written on it, and a warehouse has a sign saying "Southside Warehouse" on it, and nothing else. The cars used had insignia and hood ornaments specifically made for the movie, both to look cool and avoid looking like any actual model.

The brand(s) of beer on the tap at Cheers was never named, although there were fleeting glances of the packaging of at least one real beer brand.
One episode' has Rebecca boasting of the new TV the bar is buying with a "direct hookup" to "the cable sports channel".
In "The Bar Stoolie", Cliff is wearing one of those novelty hats with a can holder on each side and a rubber straw. He has two cans of beer in his hat. Each can says only "Beer".

The Simpsons has Duff Beer and Krusty Burger, among others.
Both of which, interestingly, became real brands during the run of the movie (The Krusty Burgers were rebranded Burger Kings.)
They lampshaded this in a conversation between the cop, Lou, and Chief Wiggum which was also a parody of the "royale with cheese" scene in Pulp Fiction. Lou mentioned eating at a McDonald's in Shelbyville, but Wiggum had never heard of it, despite there being 2000 locations in the state.
Lampshaded again in a another episode where it turned out Krusty was paying the mob to keep other fast food chains out of Springfield.
There's also Laramie cigarettes. The brand did exist, but it's been discontinued since The '50s.
In the episode "Scenes from the Class Struggle in Springfield", several TV brands are shown: Panaphonic (Panasonic), Magnetbox (Magnavox), and Sorny (Sony). It's implied they were knockoffs, however.
As well as Bart referring to a "flying novelty disc" instead of a Frisbee.
In a different episode, Lisa yearns for trendy electronic devices from electronics company Mapple, run by Steve Mobs. In the beginning of the episode, she gets a discarded myPod from Krusty.
"Buzz Cola" is their go-to cola brand though they have also mentioned Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Dr. Pepper products. One episode even lampooned Crystal Pepsi in the early 90s but was portrayed as "Crystal Buzz Cola."

When the MythBusters use an off-the-shelf consumer item in examining a myth, they usually cover it with a plain white wrap featuring the "MythBusters" logo in black. (In one episode, while testing a myth about using vodka to clean a bathroom, the tester actually wrote the words "Brand X" on the wall.)
One of the few times they ever break from this practice is in the "Diet Coke and Mentos" testing, using the name of both soda and candy directly, in part because everyone in the world knows the phenomenon by that name and calling it the "Diet Soda and Candy" episode would have seemed patently absurd. The decision seems to have been made only during post-production, however; while graphics and the narrator use the brand names often, anyone actually on-camera always says "diet soda" or "candy" and all the labels are still taken off.
In addition, certain chemicals mentioned in narration are censored due to fears the audience will try to recreate the experiments at home; instead of "bleep", the audience hears a random animal noise. Lampshaded entertainingly in at least one episode:
One specific example involves Adam holding up two bottles of chemicals for the camera, with — of course — blurred labels.
In the above examples the chemicals being mixed tend to be dangerous when brought together; the example with Kari is used to make gun cotton, while the "blur with blur" were some of the additional components used to make properly reactive thermite. Besides being particularly dangerous to try at home there are probably federal and local laws governing/forbidding their use and procurement without licences. (Regarding the thermite components: Aluminum powder and iron oxide were already mentioned, so these aren't the two items; plus, at least one of the substances indicated is clearly a liquid of some kind.)
They also blur out commercial logos on people's clothing. In one memorable example, this (evidently) included the manufacturer of Kari's diving suit, turning her entire chest into one big blur.
Which is considered a felony in at least 49 states...
They sometimes use other methods to block out logos, such as duct tape (which appeared on the front of Tory's baseball cap several times).
In the host segments of a few episodes, Tory is visibly wearing a shirt that has been turned inside-out.
During the episode about drunkenness myths, despite the labels being obscured, it was still clear that Jamie was drinking Gray Goose vodka, and Adam 12-year-old Glenlivet scotch.
For the first several seasons, the manufacturer logos on the regular M5 Industries fleet vehicles were unobscured. The big GMC box truck even had a former owner's company name plainly visible (the vinyl letter decals had been removed, the sticky residue hadn't and was gray with grime.

What about the Home Depot orange buckets used in multiple episodes? Sure the logos might be out of focus, but anyone who has seen one of those buckets in a store will recognize them immediately.

The Morseverse does this, especially with Oxford University colleges. This actually started in the novels — when Colin Dexter wanted to write a story about the shady goings-on in academia, he chose not to use the name of a real college. Lonsdale — where plotting seems to be more important than teaching — was the result. Over time, more of these have come up to the point where there are now quite a few of them. Some, such as Wolsey, are obvious stand-ins for real ones (in this case, Christ Church), others less so.

Although they look somewhat different from the iMac, the Navis in Serial Experiments Lain are made by Tachibana General Labs (Tachibana translates to Mandarin Orange). Of course, there are also some non-disguised references to Apple computers, such as a (small) picture of an iMac with an Apple advertising slogan.
Incidentally, Lain's Navi is based on a Mac, albeit an even older one than the iMac: namely, the Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh.

Mad Men spectacularly averts this. Sterling Cooper may be fictional, but they've done stuff or tried to do stuff for real companies (And yes, many of these clients paid handsomely to be on the show):
Pampers
Kodak — Calling a kind of slide projector a Carousel was apparently Don Draper's idea.
American Airlines, an attempted grab for their contract of that airline, which is trying to get good publicity back after the Flight 1 disaster of 1 March 1962. In the show, Pete Campbell's father is a victim of that crash.
Mohawk Airlines, who are bumped off the client list for the American Airlines attempt.
Bacardi
The American Cancer Society, after they lose Lucky Strike
Heineken
And of course the finale credited Don with a real-world advertising campaign, Coke's "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing".
Also worth mentioning is that the show isn't averse to actual Product Placement: a bottle of Smirnoff has crept its way into the series as a semi-permanent fixture in Roger Sterling's new office.
DVD commentary reveals that the production team always uses period-accurate real-world alcohol bottles, with one exception: A real brand is never used in a drinking-and-driving situation. Mad Men being Mad Men, there are a lot of these.

Odd example on Peep Show — Jeremy refers obliquely to a real-life advert for a popular cold and flu remedy, while Mark is shown pouring said brand into a cup, with the logo obscured... at which point Jeremy offers to "bring your Lemsip in for you". Didn't seem to be a lampshading, or deliberate joke — just odd.
It may be that mentioning the semi-genericised Lemsip is acceptable, but that showing Lemsip-brand Lemsip was undue prominence. In some countries, there's a rule against showing a product and mentioning its name at the same time. So there's no problem if they're mentioning Lemsip, they just have to obscure it.

"WcDonalds", a stand-in for the rather obvious, is a fast-food chain non-specific to any particular anime (the chain has made appearances from Inuyasha, where it was spelled "Wacdnalds", to the American-produced Megas XLR). Much like the above immediate example, anime "Brand X" brands are often created simply by switching or reversing a letter from their real-world counterparts ("Somy" and "Parasonic" have been known to pop up from time to time in various animes).
WcDonalds' most recent appearance, as of early August 2008, is in the new Rumiko Takahashi short anime It's A Rumic World, where it appears in its rarely seen fully spelled out form.
The upside down golden arches also appear in Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, but this time the W stands for "Wonderland Burgers".
Zeta Gundam, however, has "McDaniels" hamburgers, complete with clown mascot. Since both of these are Universal Century shows, we have to assume that McDaniels and Wonderland Burger exist in the same universe and are competitors.
It's even made an appearance in Japanese porn, as an elaborate restaurant set with obsessively detailed uniforms for the young ladies involved to wear (or not wear, as the case may be).
As of 2024, WcDonalds has been Defictionalized.

In Repo Man, every single consumer good is in plain white packaging with the name of the item in block letters across the front, such as "Beer", "Potato Chips", and even "Food." Generic products in the early 80s did actually use this kind of remarkably plain packaging. Of course, they weren't nearly so omnipresent as in the film.

Cans of soda on The Big Bang Theory are clearly designed to mimic real brands, but with HD one can clearly see that they are drinking "Diet Cola" (styled like the Diet Coke logo), "Z-un" (styled like the 7-Up logo), and a brand with literally no name but a perfect copy of Sprite's interlocking-fruits symbol.

The Grand Theft Auto series features a whole bunch of these across everything from cars to video game consoles to websites to restaurant chains, logically enough given that no company would dare clear their products to be featured in a game as notorious as the Grand Theft Auto series. Rockstar Games often uses the opportunity to royally take the piss out of the real-life products by turning their fake ones into parodies thereof.

In The Order of the Stick strips 6 and 31, the party sees Durkon as a pack of Band-Aids, and a mind flayer sees Elan as a can of Diet Coke. When these were redone in higher resolution for the book Dungeon Crawlin' Fools, Durkon became "Bandages" and Elan became "Diet Cola".

Persona 3 was filled with them, Every vending machine had some type of American drink just to show how well Atlus actually translates the games. Some of the most memorable ones were : (Dr. Salt: Salty soda. Popular, but an acquired taste.) (Mad Bull: The most caffeinated drink available.) (Starvicks: Famous coffee, mixed with cough syrup.) (Fountain Dew: A disturbingly yellow soft drink.)

In Turning Red, several of these can be seen at the Daisy Mart like "Cheez Eats" and "Cheezwats" crackers (Cheez-It) and "Bubble Bubble" gum (Dubble Bubble). Some brands on display are more generic like "Gprims" crackers, "Snack Time" snacks and "Trusted Brand" cold relief medication. However, the use of Daisy Mart itself is an aversion since it is a real Canadian convenience store chain.

In a variation, when Life After People did an episode on food, they specifically address the Urban Legend that "this cream-filled snack cake" would remain edible for thousands of years. Presumably the makers of Twinkies didn't want their product associated with images of decaying meat or roaches and rats taking over abandoned supermarkets, as the program dutifully avoids naming "this snack cake" or showing its label.

The Powerpuff Girls (1998) had, well, a number of different cereals combined into one brand: "Lucky Captain Rabbit King Nuggets". The mascot for this brand seems to be a mash-up of Lucky the leprechaun, the Trix rabbit, Captain Crunch and King Vitaman.
Even the slogan is Brand X: "Ridiculous Lucky Captain Rabbit King! Lucky Captain Rabbit King Nuggets are for the youth!"
Not to mention the chemical used in the opening sequence of the series is literally called Chemical X.note Which is actually a can of whoopass.

The Sims, by proxy, is also full of this by way of the brand names of all buyable items. This actually gets averted down the line, thanks to a tie-in deal with IKEA. The Sims 3 would later get a stuff pack sponsored by Diesel.
As an added note, using the random Sim generater in The Sims 2 Debug mode will cough up Sims with ramdomly-generated names that include some Brand X last names, like Curtin, Byall, Wren etc.

The Flintstones were probably parodying the practice, in an episode where Fred and Barney enter a sponsored baking competition/commercial. When Fred and Barney's cake wins, they end up being disqualified when Barney inadvertently reveals they used brand X flour. As the emcee frantically explains afterwards, they can hardly declare the winner to have used one of the competing brands.
The most prominent brand name in the series was probably the "Polarock" instant camera (a bird inside the camera using its beak to chisel jackhammer-style the "photograph" image into a stone slab in 60 seconds).

The Tangiers was originally created for the gangster film Casino as a stand-in for The Sands (though unlike its real world equivalent, the Tangiers was demolished in the wake of the mob trials, which precludes the possibility of any continuity with CSI). What's strange, though is that CSI has also mentioned The Sands on occasion, and also the Rampart (although the fictional Rampart was demolished in season 7, while its real life counterpart still stands.)

In another episode Megan asks Josh to give her her Mintendo GS back.
Many characters reference the restaurant "BF Wings".

Fallout:
The series has Brand X in spades — featuring Snap-Off Tools, Mary May cosmetics, Nuka-Cola, and so forth. However, due to threats of Australia giving the game an Adults Only rating, they needed to change Morphine to Med-X.
The Dummied Out, Drill Sergeant Nasty-voice Medic Power Armour also still refers to Med-X as Morphine.

Toy Story couldn't get the rights to blow up an (original) G.I. Joe action figure, so they used "Combat Carl" instead.
However, they otherwise avert it: Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, Ken, Barbie, Slinky, Totoro and many more, were all used with permission of the respective copyright owners, as acknowledged at the end of the credits of each film.
Zig-Zagged with Barbie; for the first movie, Mattel refused to license the character to Pixar, and the script was written without her. Needless to say, they offered no opposition when Pixar approached them for the second film.
And played straight with Rex, who is a generic copy of the T. rex figure from the cult classic Dino Riders toyline.

NCIS:
In the episode "Doppelgänger", the case hinged in part on two different brands of cigarettes: Triboros, and Llamas (the latter in a package resembling Camel cigarettes).
While not a product, one of the members of NCIS is showing around a bunch of boys, where he and all of the boys are wearing the standard tan outfit with handkerchief over the neck and troop number in red and white, of the Boy Scouts of America, but in the show, one of the kids admits they are a Junior Ranger.

Animorphs both averts and invokes this trope. Jake having a Sega game console is mentioned, (though it's just a 'console' in the re-release to help with relevance issues) but there's the fictional internet provider Web Access America, which seems to allude to either America Online, Microsoft or both. Since it's founder turns out to be a cannibal serial-killing alien, they probably didn't want to attach that to any real person. There's also a Yeerk pool entrance in a McDonald's, though see below under "Live-Action Series."
Marco mentions having a Playstation in later book. And there are names of various real games mentioned (Doom, NFLBlitz, Madden, etc.)

The Masters of Horror episode "The Screwfly Solution" had plenty of examples, like "East Coast Airlines" and "Flazzle Cola" (in a red can, no less), and in the shop scenes they make sure to keep the camera zoomed out (though a Budweiser sign comes up in the edge of the shot, so they forgot at least one thing). They also have nameless "Kidney Beans" cans and an internet search engine with no marker at all.

A few episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 featured products related to the movies the SOL crew watch: Wild Rebels Cereal, Mighty Jack dog food, Basil Rathbone dog treats (with bits of Nigel Bruce!). There have also been some products not related to the movies: in one episode, Joel was eating Captain Ron cereal, and who can forget Cowboy Mike's Ricochet Barbecue Sauce? (It's BOLD!). Oddly averted in the season six finale, where Dr. Forrester and Frank enjoy their Chinese take-out with cans of TAB (a diet soda made by the Coca-Cola company that used to be fairly prevalent until the advent of Diet Coke.)

Odd Squad has the Shmumber brand, which adorns everything in the show from juice boxes to magazines to everything in between, and even owns a hotel in the Toronto area as well as an oil change station. However, it's not simply there just for filler — "Fistful of Fruit Juice" reveals that Shmumber Enterprises, the company behind the brand, was initially started by Yucks Shmumbers, who was Oprah's business partner back in the 1800s when they ran a fruit stand together. While Oprah would go on to be an Odd Squad Investigation agent of Precinct 13579 (and eventually, its newest Director), Yucks continued to run the fruit stand, hiring Olga, an ex-agent, to work alongside her. In the Odd Squad: World Turned Odd movie, the Shmumbers Incorporated factory is introduced, with Chuck Shmumbers, the company's CFO, mentioning that he and Yucks have been friends with Oprah since the 1700s. The brand also serves as a stand-in for real-life products, such as adorning Heinz ketchup and French's mustard bottles in "Agent Oksana's Kitchen Nightmares".

The Brady Bunch: In the episode "And Now a Word From Our Sponsor," where the Bradys are chosen to star in a television commercial for the laundry detergent Safe, all the soap names are "Brand X." Besides Safe, other detergents the Bradys have used (to varying levels of success) included Champ the Dirt Fighter, Clear & Bright, Help and their current detergent, Best. In the wind-up segment, the Bradys are given –- as a consolation for their work –- dozens of crates containing Safe.
One of Robert Reed's points in his negative critique of this episode was that the use of the "soap names" –- which Carol names off, in discussing with Mike on whether to star in the commercial –- were clichéd (or in Reed's words, an "obvious writer's technique").
In the later episode "Law & Disorder" (aired a season later), Bobby can be seen dumping a whole box of Safe into the washing machine. (He was trying to wash his good suit after dirtying it while trespassing in an abandoned house to rescue a classmate's kitten.)

The DCU has lots of these, some of which only appear in one story (or in stories by one writer), while others get taken up across the board. The cola brands Soder (Brewed and bottled in Metropolis) and Zesti (a Gotham City favorite) have both had stories focused on them.
Soder also appeared in Superman: The Animated Series as a nod to the DCU.
Big Belly Burgernote who, judging from its mascot, is based on the California chain Bob's Big Boy is the DC Universe's answer to fast food joints. Which allows parodies and in one instance, using a dead fat man for cover in a gun fight.
Hitman featured another burger joint called "Bucket Burger", which was also rife with parody(for example, almost everyone in the restaurant except for the title character and his buddy are obese slobs).
The other large fast food chain in the DCU is O'Shaughnessy's, which serves Irish inspired grub and is Robin Tim Drake's favorite fast food joint.
The DCU's leading current events magazine is named "Newstime".
More DC examples; WGBS is a media outlet in Metropolis, run by an evil nut job. LexCorp, of course, has its fingers in everything. WayneCorp is an easy one to go to when a writer needs a brand name. Then there's SunDollar coffee...
One or two issues of Birds of Prey reference Barbara Gordon and other characters bemoaning the ineffectiveness of the Curtains 98 operating system.

Futurama has Slurm soft drink, which is central to the episode "Fry and the Slurm Factory". Also, Lightspeed Briefs and Mom's Old-Fashioned Robot Oil. It also uses parody brands, such as Admiral Crunch and Archduke Chocula on "The Series Has Landed" and Sonya speakers on "Amazon Women in the Mood".
Burger Jerk, Fishy Joe's, or Chizzler. It's debatable, depending on what you hear, whether Molten Boron is a brand or a state. "No one does/nt/it like Molten Boron".
Another example is the product "Third and Third and Third" in the episode "I second that Emotion", a parody of "Half and Half."
Several shows are "sponsored" by made-up brands and products, including Arachno-Spores, Thompson's Teeth and Glagnar's Human Rinds.
Mombil.
And Fry's beer of choice, the aptly-named "LoBrau".

Alton Brown is also a big fan of Brand X and "Greeking" (as the process is more formally called). In a "behind the scenes" episode of Good Eats he explains the process behind "Greeking." That said, it's always obvious what grocery store he's shopping at (either Kroger, Publix, or Harry's/Whole Foods, depending on how old the episode is), and episodes before season 5 don't bother with the greeking.

On CSI, many crimes or events happen at the Tangiers hotel/casino, which doesn't actually exist.
The Tangiers was originally created for the gangster film Casino as a stand-in for The Sands (though unlike its real world equivalent, the Tangiers was demolished in the wake of the mob trials, which precludes the possibility of any continuity with CSI). What's strange, though is that CSI has also mentioned The Sands on occasion, and also the Rampart (although the fictional Rampart was demolished in season 7, while its real life counterpart still stands.)

Performance parts in Forza Motorsport 4 are a generic brand, unlike 3, where most of the ports were "made" by a certain manufacturer, such as K&N making air filters for certain car brands.
Generally justified, as 4 features a lot more niche and unique cars where no real company would design aftermarket parts for them. However, said niche cars often use engines or are actually built from other cars (for example, the Bertone Mantide is just a Corvette ZR 1 with a lighter, radically designed body), so the reason why aftermarket companies were removed besides advertising billboards remains unclear.

Another instance of the BBC not allowing product placement was duly mocked in an episode of Top Gear, where the three presenters (and The Stig) participate in a 24-hour endurance race in their modified BMW. As a final touch, they wanted to put product placements all over their car, but BBC regulations prevented them from doing so — so they made up their own, including such products as Peniston Oil and Larsen Biscuits (which appears as "Penis" and "Arse Biscuits" when the door is open).

The Darkside Detective:
The summer camp where the scout troop jamboree is held is named Camp Site. McQueen reflects that this is better than the runner-up names, which included several variations on warnings like "Camp This Is Where You Die", and one name that features a double entendre about pegging.
In The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark, one puzzle involves a "JoyChild" portable gaming device, which resembles a Gameboy.

Grand Theft Auto IV features advertisements and an in-game website for Fruit Computers, whose logo is a bowl of fruit and released a phone that looks exactly like a banana-shaped iPhone.
Which (in GTA's usual outrageous sense of humor) has an app that can tell if you're pregnant when you pee on the phone. Grand Theft Auto V made the reference even more obvious with the iFruit 9iX, which has a design that's closely modelled on the iPhone 5C.
Every GTA game since III has done this, all of them with suggestive, pun-based or violent names, such as "Burger Shot" (Burger King), "Cluckin' Bell" (Taco Bell & KFC combined) and "Sprunk" (Sprite).

Homestar Runner uses "world" products almost exclusively, with a few exceptions, like Mountain Dew (which invariably appears with the 1973 logo). Interestingly, most of the products, both names and the products themselves, sound sensible at first but on second reading turn out to be complete gibberish ("flavor taste-style chewing powder" ...?)
Notable Brand Xs include the Cold Ones series of beers; especially the Coldson Lite, who looks like a can of Coors Lite, yet whose name resembles Molson. Interestingly, Molson and Coors merged in 2005.
This is doubly subverted with the Tandy computers. Tandy was a real brand, once, but Strong Bad's "Tandy 400" computer resembles nothing ever produced by it. Furthermore, its logo is a multicolored star with a bite taken out of it. In case the parody wasn't obvious yet, this same logo is later seen on obvious Macintosh lookalikes.
But the exceptions can be pretty blatant. "Let's sing a song of Pennzoil!"
...and sometimes it's part of the joke: In sbemail "caffeine", Strong Bad gets Strong Sad on a caffeine rush by "drop[ping] a couple of heaping spoonfuls of Sanka into [his] orange juice." Sanka is, of course, well-noted for being a decaffeinated coffee.

Flipper parodied this Trope with their first album which was titled Album: Generic Flipper and featured a front cover that simply had those three words and a fake bar code with the word FLIPPER instead of numbers. The Cassette version had Cassette: Generic Flipper on the cover instead.

Family Guy often depicts Chris and Meg eating "Generic Puffs", the decoration on the box being just the brand name on a white background. They also tend to bounce around between McBurgertown and McDonald's whenever they feel like it. Outright lampshaded in an episode where Quagmire bemoans the fact that they are on TV (thus unable to say the brand name) and complains that everybody already knows the products they're trying to censor.

There's an episode of the Disney version of Doug where the characters are locked in the school during a snowstorm and the Rich Bitch of the group pulls out a laptop to try to communicate with the outside world for help. While the laptop itself was pretty indistinct, the desktop environment it exhibited was unmistakably Apple's Classic Mac OS, with a Beet (a running gag in the series) in the place of the Apple on the top-left corner of the screen.

The kids' magazine programme Blue Peter used to have a craft feature which usually required cereal boxes, empty drinks bottles and so forth... all with the names obscured, because the BBC, being publicly funded, didn't allow any commercial product placement. Sometimes it was patently obvious what the obscured brand was — only the lettering would be blanked out on a cornflake box, leaving the Kelloggs' rooster visible. Famously, most projects included "sticky tape", known to everyone else as Sellotape or Scotch Tape, and "sticky-backed plastic" (known to everyone else as Fablon). "Sticky tape" is now called Sellotape, though, now the producers have realised that the name was well and truly genericised. "Sticky-backed plastic", however, stuck so deep in the public psyche that now it's used as the name for the stuff instead of the brand.

Breaking Bad has a premium brand of tequila known as Zafiro Añejo, which was invented by the producers because they could not find any actual brand willing to put their product in a scene where everyone who drinks it dies after a few minutes (due to having been poisoned), although it's been noted that the bottle design resembles that of the "Hardy Perfection Fire" Cognac.

Frasier is not a man who is practical or handy. When setting up his new psychiatric practice, he says to his father that he beleives the high suicide rate in Sweden is due to frustration and deep angst at not being able to figure out "Stockholm Design"'s instruction leaflet for self-assembly office chairs. Otherwise it sounds pretty much IKEA.

Possibly a case in Gracepoint when compared to the original British show Broadchurch. Early in the show, the police are trying to keep it from the public that the boy's death is not an accident. Ellie accidentally lets this fact slip to her nephew, a reporter, who immediately posts it online. The British show has the nephew use Twitter (causing David Tennant's character to enter the police station screaming "Bloody Twitter!"), while the American show uses a fictional online news site instead.
