Somehow you picked entirely the wrong paragraph from that blog post to summarize it.

The cited paragraph would be true of a movie like Harold and Kumar go to White Castle because the brand name is part of the title of the movie and the brand plays a major part of the story.

But it wouldn't apply to an incidental use of a branded product in a production, i.e., a car chase scene whether the brand of the car or vehicle-specific features are irrelevant.

Of course it wouldn't apply to incidental background usage. What did you think I was saying? Somehow you got the completely wrong idea.
