Identifiable brands are ususally obfuscated unless the brand owner pays to advertise their brand (at least in the USA). Look at sitcoms on TV. The husband drinks beer out of a can that is red & white like a Budweiser can, but it clearly isn't a Budweiser can. Product placement is usually paid for, like Taco Bell did in the movie "Demolition Man".
