Not every ad is for just one product — or even those of just one company. No, high-profile movies will always attract companies looking to cash in on it. Or, sometimes, two companies are just trying to keep costs down (TV time's expensive), perhaps because neither company could afford to advertise on its own. For whatever reason, you end up with a Dualvertisement: a CrossOver in [[AdvertisingTropes adspace]]. More formally known as Cross Promotion, this trope's been in existence for at least as long as UsefulNotes/McDonalds has been giving away licensed toys.
