's 2011 documentary '' POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold'' as one of the corporate sponsors. Although featured heavily throughout the film, the end titles of the film point out that the company did not pay for the sponsorship deal. On the Mane 'n Tail website, management explains: "Mane 'n Tail is no stranger to doing product placement in major motion pictures, this however, was our first foray into the indie film arena as Morgan sought us out to participate in the film about product placement funded strictly by product placement. When we agreed to jump on board, we had no idea what an incredible opportunity it would blossom into. Sony Pictures Classics picked up the film three days before its Sundance premiere, much to everyone’s delight. The publicity has been unbelievable and our part in the movie... we absolutely adore. Although we are a 'sponsor', Mane 'n Tail did not pay to be part of the film, instead we exchanged our product, a true 'product placement' deal."
