For the season premier of "The Office" last Thursday, I've come to found out, through the local paper and various internet sources, that our beloved grocery store, Wegmans, had a few product cameos in "The Office," my favorite TV show :)

"It looks like some of the folks at Dunder Mifflin Inc.’s Scranton, Pa., branch do their shopping at Wegmans Food Markets Inc.
Employees at the fictional paper company on NBC’s “The Office” used Wegmans-brand products during the show’s season premiere Thursday night. Wegmans has a store in Scranton.
The season opened with a close-up of cereal in a bowl. The camera then panned out to reveal the show’s star Steve Carell eating breakfast next to a half-gallon of Wegmans-brand organic milk and a box of Wegmans-brand cereal.
Carell, or Michael Scott—as he is known in the show—points out that his girlfriend made him breakfast, or at least bought the milk, as he turns the milk carton toward him and says, “It’s soy.”
Wegmans spokeswoman Jo Natale said NBC officials have been sending product requests to David Grossi, Wegmans manager at the Scranton location. Natale said Wegmans this week started to tell its employees to keep an eye out for product sightings on the show. According to their count, there were at least four Wegmans products shown last night, including cans of WPOP."
According to the D & C, "Two Dunder Mifflin employees were sipping Wegmans-brand soda in the break room and another box of Wegmans-brand cereal was stashed on the break room refrigerator."
~Pretty cool...
