I think the original argument was that the major fast food companies 
advertise on their wrappers.

If you go to Taco Bell and order a taco, you probably don't need a fancy 
wrapper to remind you it's from Taco Bell.   But if you throw it out the 
window and somebody else sees it.   ...mmm...tacos.  It's as effective a 
billboard. All you have to do is put your name on stuff that will be 
littered.
