A Chocolate Covered Treat For Life
When Harvey Korman stops to purchase refreshments at the movie theater after the film’s conclusion, product placement becomes apparent. In the midst of the chaos, he took a break to buy a box of Raisinets, and Brooks acknowledged that this increased sales of the snack. In 1975, he told Playboy magazine, “We mentioned Raisinets in Blazing Saddles, and now the company sends me a gross of them every month. A gross of Raisinets!”

The script for Blazing Saddles wasn’t easy to write because so many individuals were vying to have their ideas used. Brooks said, “Blazing Saddles was more or less written in the middle of a drunken fistfight. There were five of us all yelling loudly for our ideas to be put into the movie. Not only was I the loudest, but luckily I also had the right as director to decide what was in or out.”
