It's all tied to the brand-new documentary from 'Super Size Me' star Morgan Spurlock, which chronicles the prevalence of product placement and advertising in American life.

According to the AP, Altoona -- which has 31,000 residents, and is located 85 miles east of Pittsburgh -- will receive $25,000 for the tongue-in-cheek product placement. It will also play host to the East Coast premiere of the film on Wednesday.
