The most blatant product placement I ever saw was in "Mission to Mars."
"Quick, use this Dr. Pepper, which I will throw across this zero-G room as the camera tracks its progress, to find the leak in our ship!"
"Let's drive our Pennzoil-sponsored Mars rover to the other site!"
But the worst was when Gary Sinise and son are sitting in the treehouse at the beginning, and I SWEAR the camera slightly changes position to get a better shot of the Dr. Pepper sitting next to the kid.
