From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Never Say No to Panda is a 2010 series of television commercials produced in Egypt by Advance Marketing for Arab Dairy, manufacturers of Panda Cheese. The commercials, which feature a giant panda who terrorizes people for not wanting to try the cheese, have become a viral Internet hit.[1][2] The ads were created by the Elephant Cairo agency and written by Ali Ali and Maged Nassar.
PremiseIn each commercial, a person is offered to try Panda cheese, to which he declines. This causes a
giant panda to suddenly appear in front of him while the
Buddy Holly song "
True Love Ways"
plays in the background. The panda stares at the person for a few
seconds before it goes into a violent outburst and destroys everything
around them, whether it is wrecking an office computer or pouring
marinara sauce all over an unprepared pizza.

One example is a pair of commercials featuring a father and son at the
grocery. The son suggests they buy Panda cheese, but the father says
their shopping cart is full. The panda appears and stares at the father
before tipping over the shopping cart and stomping on the spilled
merchandise. On the second commercial where the father and son return to
the grocery, the father is intimidated by the panda enough to buy two
boxes of Panda cheese before everyone walks away peacefully.
