I was just watching an old episode of The Donna Reed Show on hulu. Mary was
making oatmeal for breakfast and it was very obvious that the oatmeal was
Quaker brand in the large round box. They had large black tape completely
covering the name Quaker and the picture of the Quaker. It was so
noticeable and was apparent that they didn't even try to disguise the fact
that it was tape. I know it was very important that brand names not be
shown on episodes like this. I have notice that at Wally's the oil cans are
always facing backwards so the brand name cannot be seen and names are not
shown on any other types of products, but nothing so blatant as black tape
was ever used to just cover up the names. I have also noticed that no one
every mentioned having a "coke" at any time in Mayberry. They used root
beer a lot but that is a generic term for a soft drink.
