Wegmans and the Office: 4.2, "Dunder-Mufflin Infinity"

Loved much of last night's ep (favorite part: Kelly's two headshots, "We have a date!"). Only one Wegmans product appearance, near as I can tell:

Above the fridge, sure enough: Wegman's brand Corn Flakes!

This got me thinking: what Wegman's brand products am I most fond of? WPOP, definitely, and Wegman's brand ice cream has always been an important part of my life. I had my parents bring me an entire crate of Wegman's brand chicken noodle soup when I lived in DC. Wegman's apple cinnamon oatmeal, and lemon yogurt - all crucial ingredients to my youth.

Pam Beasley (or Jim Halpert) Drinks WPOP!

And I have proof:

Myself, I prefer Mountain-W, but you can't go wrong with W-Up. I'm pleased to see that the can design is the same that it was when I lived in NY 5 years ago. Ah, delicious generic soda.

Wegmans+"The Office"=the greatest things get even better!

Word arrived to me today from back home in Webster that "The Office" would begin showing Wegman's products throughout the season this year, in order to remain as authentic as possible. This makes sense because the show is set in Scranton, PA, which Wegmans (greatest grocery store - nay! greatest shopping experience! - and based in Rochester, NY thank you very much) must have infiltrated by now. With this information, I returned to the first episode of Season 4 with an eye for discrete product placement:

The episode begins with Michael enjoying breakfast.

...which Jan has graciously made for him (well, at least she bought the soy milk).

But not just any milk! Organic Soy milk, Wegmans brand! And behind it, Wegmans Raisin Bran?

Here's hoping for a WPOP appearance, even though Jim had given up grape soda as of last season.
