Product placement is pretty common in Netflix's own shows, however they do it well so it doesn't feel like an ad. For example KFC in Stranger Things and Dunkin Donuts in House of Cards.

You could say they've come a long way from the infamous Playstation Vita placement in House of Cards: https://www.giantbomb.com/playstation-vita/3045-129/forums/h...

I'm surprised that is the one people mention, I remember seeing coke in every other episode. They got pretty sneaky about it eventually.

An old guy playing PlayStation vita (especially out of character) is more jarring than anyone drinking Coke.
