#2: Initial revision
Publishers certainly don't _always_ remove brands. Two example from Jim Butcher's _Dresden Files_: > "I'm hungry," he said, his voice a low growl. > "We can hit a McDonald's or something on the way home," I suggested. (_Jim Butcher, Dead Beat, chapter 12_ and > “Right,” Thomas said. “Where are we headed?” > “To where they treat me like royalty,” I said. > “We’re going to Burger King?” (_Jim Butcher, Small Favour, chapter 10_) I'm going to guess that if you're mentioning a brand in a negative context, the publishers are going to assume the brand isn't going to be happy, and remove the mention. But if it's not negative, that's like free product placement.
