Weirdly enough, there’s been A FEW of these types of games that were based either on a specific product or a specific brand, and they were for the most part, weirdly well done for the times they released in and actually sorta fun.
Off the top of my head, Pepsiman for a specific product and the whole lot of Lego games if we’re talking about a whole product line.
The Dungeons and Dragons idle game has a champion that is composed of Nerds candy pieces. It’s actually a fun character concept because you can switch the nerds around to different colors, each one with a different class that changes how their mechanics work. But it’s just so weird seeing candy you can eat alongside Drizzt Do’urden that I never use them.

I think that whole genre is called advergames
Chex Quest was legitimately good, but mostly because it was just a Doom mod
I think legos are in their own genre no matter what. That’s like advertising a game franchise.
Those Xbox burger king games were legitimately fun…
Sneak king!
That was one of them… Weren’t there two others but I agree sneak King was the best.
Sneak King was fun but, sorry not sorry, Pocketbike Racer was the best. No clue what the third one was.
I am genuinely surprised none of the freaks around here have mentioned the KFC dating sim yet.
Candystand.com games went crazy back in the early 2000’s

Sometimes I forget that the LEGO games are just really fancy ads.
The old Kellogg’s game from mid 90’s was really clunky, but it was great fun as a <10 year old not knowing any better!
That Nerf clone of Unreal Tournament was dope
