· In the documentary, The Beatles: The First U.S. Visit, the Fab Four overhear a Kent radio commercial, expressing sarcastic interest in it:
Radio Announcer: Looking for a filtered cigarette that really satisfies?
Paul McCartney: Looking for one?
Radio Announcer: One that will give you the pleasure you want in smoking.
Paul McCartney: I am, yes.
Radio Announcer: Well, look no more. There is a cigarette that gives you the better(?) action you are looking for today.
Paul McCartney: Which one!?
Radio Announcer: Kent!
John Lennon: KENT!
Radio Announcer: ...with the exclusive micronite filter.
(Kent "Satisfies the Best" theme song plays and John Lennon whistles along.)
