One of the most memorable product placements in cinematic history has to be the Red Ryder BB Gun in the 1983 movie A Christmas Story about a boy who leaves clues (in the form of print ads) for his parents as they prepare to play Santa.  Talk about aspirational! The Red Ryder from Daisy has been around since 1938 and is still sold solo or as part of the Red Ryder Kit, complete with air rifle, shooting glasses, two ShatterBlast stakes, eight ShatterBlast targets, PrecisionMax BBs and Red Ryder collectible tin of BBs, all for only $68.99.
