Go Grease Lightning! The Best Facts About The Film
Blurring out coke
When Grease was being filmed, producers were banking on a product placement deal with Coca Cola coming through. However, negotiations failed and the deal never came to fruition and this proved a big problem in post-production. There were several scenes shot with Coca-Cola products in the background, on signs and in cans at the Frosty Palace.
All of these images had to be digitally removed or blurred out on-screen as Coca-Cola didn’t pay for anything to be shown. Looking back, they probably wished they signed a deal with one of the biggest musicals of all time.
