Would you like fries that that?
Product placement comes to The Sims. Intel and McDonald's have paid millions to have their products appear in the next version of The Sims.
Detailed terms of EA's multimillion-dollar deal were not available but it will allow Intel's familiar jingle, its product logo, and computers using its Pentium 4 processor to appear in the game.
Players in the game also will be able to buy a McDonald's kiosk and sell the company's branded food products, earning "simoleans," the game's currency. Eating that food will also improve their standing within the game.

Fun with smoke rings!
Fog-guns!. 
Great new toy guns shoot fog-rings!
The Zero Launcher and the Zero Blaster launch 2 to 6 inch diameter non-toxic fog rings that sail up to fourteen feet. Easy to use, they are great stress busters and with practice you'll be able to create bigger and better rings.
