Seeing this bizarre RE9-Porsche marketing collaboration got me thinking, what are some of the weirdest marketing tie-ins in games that you recall?
The original Alan Wake had Energizer batteries in it and Death Stranding 1 has Monster energy drinks, but what other notable marketing collaborations stick out to you?

Not so much a brand appearning in a video game, but related, during the NES/SNES era it wasn't uncommon to have games that existed solely to promote a brand
MC Kids was surprisingly pretty good, as they essentially just copy/pasted a Mario game with McDonald's shite.
Dominos did one
7-UP
There was apparently a PepsiMan game that came out in Japan only I think

One of the most apt campaigns that was memorable
Pizza Hut partnered with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the TMNT II Arcade game came with Pizza Hut coupons and Pizza Hut was featured in the game, first time I think I remember seeing an actual real brand in an otherwise normal video game.

That's right...Skittles power ups.
