Ore-Ida commercial with farmers - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Today I finally found a commercial that I had been trying to research for a long time. It is an Ore-Ida commercial from 1985 that features farmers trying to make Ore-Ida French Fries and featured a country jingle of the slogan "When Ore-Ida Says Ore-Ida It's All-Right-a. This commercial actually is seen in the 1986 movie Short Circuit when Ally Sheedy's character Stephanie Speck tells Number 5 to quit being a couch potato and the robot just sits and researches commercials. I only thought it was only made for Short Circuit but I realized it existed now and i'm mighty glad I finally found it

Hi, Bestie! That is some great trivia! I wonder if Ore Ida paid the movie to get it's commercial on it. If they did it was worth the money because that was a hit movie and also has lots of people rewatching it so Ore Ida keeps getting free advertising from it! Do you know if companies pay movies to place their products in them? Also do movies pay companies to use their products? Just curious.
