Ads & Merchandise
Showing our favorite couple, or another couple in the familiar setting, using a specific product, advertisers hope they can be funny, memorable, or convey a sense that theirs is an 'every-man' product. Then there are those who use the image as part of their product such as the Mickey Mouse 'Homegrown' figure shown below. These have some advantage over many other museum gift shop items in that even people who are not particularly fond of the original will still buy a parody product if they find it funny.
