De-prodding
I don't think this should be deleted without at least some discussion. The thing is, although there do not appear to be reliable sources in print, this has been written about by multiple independent people (It's Heisler Time, February 15, 2007; Heisler Beer spotting, March 28, 2007; Has Anyone Here Ever Seen Or Had Heisler Beer? June 13, 2006). It also is demonstrably in the media mentioned on the page: at 2:23;  at 0:50;  at 2:08-2:40. I think a fake brand that is used as a prop in literally dozens of movies and television shows is notable, even if the subterfuge successfully escaped attention for a long time. bd2412 T 14:39, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Lists of beer appearances
This previous version of the page had lists of appearances of ISS products in various things. They were removed in the following edit by an IP editor. I am going to put them here so we can discuss whether or not any of them warrant inclusion. Ranze (talk) 20:12, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

I don't know how these lists were assembled, or which of them are accurate or not, but assuming there's some semblance of truth here, these fictional memes would play a major role in things like the Tommy Westphall Universe or similar. Ranze (talk) 20:12, 11 October 2012 (UTC)


 * ISS exists to supply Hollywood with props that look like they could be real brands, but aren't. This avoids lawsuits, if the story makes the fake brand look bad, and maintains value in paid product placement.  As such, these brands will be in a huge list of films and TV shows.
 * Therefore, I am of the opinion that unless the fake brand is somehow relevant to the plot (rather than just being shown on screen) it's appearance in this episode or that film is not encyclopedic enough to be listed here. The brands themselves should be listed in the article, since it identifies them as ISS fakes rather than some obscure real brand.  But for the most part the list of appearances should be removed.
