With each episode, \u201cThe Boys\u201d proves it can still shock and entertain equally, making it a must-watch phenomenon, and the latest installment continues the show\u2019s tradition of blending dark humor with scathing social commentary.<\/p>\n<p>And why? Well, for starters, <em>The Boys<\/em> isn\u2019t just about superheroes gone rogue and the mighty corporate machine that dictates everything they do. Sure, it IS that, but one captivating facet of the show is how brilliantly it commits to the bit by propping up the Supes\u2019 brands, reveling in the merchandise that follows them wherever they go. From Compound V-flavored energy drinks to Brave Maeve\u2019s Pride Bars, the show uses CPG products to satirize the relentless commercialization of everything\u2014even our beloved superheroes (er, Supes).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/thedieline.com\/the-boys-and-the-brands-26-bloody-brilliant-fake-brands-and-witty-product-placements\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Season four of The Boys just wrapped up, and, as per usual, it heartily served up a fresh batch of mayhem and bloody violence with a side of CPG hilarity.\u00a0 Fans can\u2019t get enough of the twisted, irreverent humor and the ever-escalating stakes (and they\u2019re mightily pained by the two-year wait for the series finale [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1386,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[165],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-packaging-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1385\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
