While we've all seen familiar items in TV shows, or even obvious product placement, most TV shows and movies also include items that were specifically made for their story line.

Though they're meant to be fictitious, we can't lie and say that we haven't wished for some of these items to be real.


Redditor splendid_moisture asked:

"What is your favorite fictitious product from a TV show?"

"Even 'Star Trek' has a character who doesn't like them."

- AdmiralClover

"Totally! I get why. I've had so many conversations about it with my husband trying to understand the theory especially when the transporter pads are used vs site to site transports... And it seems to me a person is taken apart and then put back together elsewhere, and it's questionable if that's the same person really. But the convenience seems so wonderful!"

"Ross's sandwich from Season Five of 'Friends' that Monica saved for him. I know I could make something similar, but I want that one."

- Cho596

From food to cleaning supplies to techy gadgets, it seems most viewers have wanted something to be real from their favorite shows at some point.

Somehow, our shows would feel all the more real if we could connect through a shared object, in the way we've already shared experiences with our favorite characters.
