It sounds more like a kidnapping than a focus group. But here’s how this spot for Domino’s Pizza (via Crispin Porter + Bogusky’s Boulder, Colo., office) was made.

After the focus groupers were given a chance to voice their assumption that Domino’s doesn’t use genuine cheese in its pizza, the walls of this room were suddenly pulled away to reveal that they were surrounded by cows on a farm whose real milk is used to make the real cheese that Domino’s really uses.
