Why on cooking shows don't they show you the label on the pantry foods?

Question

You can never tell what brand they're using, or they try to hide it. Why is that?

Answer 1

Whoever is sponsoring the show probably doesn't want them showing brand names of their competitors.

Answer 2

They do show the ones for a paid sponsor. But some of them do not want a certain sponsor because of some left wing political crap, like Campbell's Soup.

Answer 3

Because it would be an endorsement of that product. If you do see a product brand name, the manufacturer probably paid for product placement.

Answer 4

Quite possibly because they aren't using a specific product. Lot's of chef's like to use ingredients from scratch. If they need a spice, they'll have it GROUND themselves. Like pepper and paprika, etc. (I LOVE it that way). You can do it too. Just buy a glass bottle with a cap that's made to sprinkle seasonings, and crush, dice, or mince your own seasonings. ;)

Answer 5

Its because they dont want to be sued by showing the product. They can only show the products of companies that sponsor them.

Answer 6

Because it's free advertising

Answer 7

they dont have deals with those companies so they try not 2 advertise a paticular brand

Answer 8

because everything in this world is business and they don't want to advertise for someone who has not paid any money.

Answer 9

Because they are not suppose to advertise products. you know , people are sue happy.

Answer 10

I would venture to guess that they do not want to do any free advertising.
