We’re not sure how many of you are fans of NBC’s TV show The Office, but a bunch of us here around the Turkey Hill office can’t get enough of it. So you can imagine our delight when, in the closing minutes of last night’s season premiere, as Jim was proposing to Pam in front of a gas station (it’s just like him to be unpredictable), there on the window of the store was a giant Turkey Hill Iced Tea ad!
The product placement, which was completely unplanned by the way, makes sense since the show is set in Scranton, PA. Even though it’s filmed in Los Angeles, the producers go to great lengths to create a northeastern Pennsylvania atmosphere in every episode. Granted, the exposure isn’t for our ice cream, but it’s still Turkey Hill and we’re so happy to be a part of a moment that Office fans have been anticipating for almost four years!
As for what Pam said, we won’t spoil it for anyone who recorded the episode and hasn’t watched it yet. If you didn’t record and would like to watch it, you can check it out here (the proposal scene starts around minute 38 and 30 seconds, and don’t miss the Turkey Hill magnet between minute 12 and 13). Just out of curiosity, what are some of your favorite TV shows that you think Turkey Hill products or signs can be a part of?

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
