but how does Harry Potter link to Junk Food?

Advertisers put images of brandnamed junk food into movies, etc, to send subliminal messages to the public to buy said brand names. Think reces pieces in ET.

I don't recall seeing any coke products in the movies... but I do remember seeing an exceptional amount of sweets in the great hall a couple of times. this is probably what these people are objecting to.

Umm, Im sorry but I dont think Bernie Botts Every Flavor Beans was a real brand... and though it is now, way after the books have been out.. it was not JK Rowling who created them. It was indeed a CANDY company... maybe they should boycott them.
