Panda (Panda Cheese)

Panda , sometimes referred to as The Panda, is a fictional character used in advertising campaigns for a brand of cheese called Panda Cheese. The character is a mischievous panda who is depicted as engaging in humorous and sometimes absurd antics in the commercials. 
== Biography ==
In the Panda Cheese commercials, a recurring situation happens where individuals decline an offer of Panda cheese, triggering the sudden appearance of a giant panda. Accompanied by the song "True Love Ways" by Buddy Holly & The Picks, the panda silently unleashes a destructive outburst, damaging various objects like computers, televisions, and even food. Each commercial ends with the phrase "Never Say No To Panda."
In one commercial, a mother asks her husband about getting Panda cheese for the kids, only to be met with a refusal when the husband says they already have enough food for the party. The panda materializes, applauds slowly, and then dramatically hurls the birthday cake against a wall. The slogans "Kids not exempted!" and "Never Say No To Panda" (in Egyptian Arabic) appear at the end.
Another commercial features a father playing catch with his son at a park. The ball lands in the panda's hands, leading to him squishing the ball while lyrics from the song play. The panda goes on to damage a car windshield with a spanner, and the slogans reappear, this time in English.
Two similar commercials involve a father and son at a grocery store. In the first, the son asks about buynig Panda cheese, but the full shopping cart convinces the father they already have enough food. The panda' intimidatingly stares at them, then approaches and destroys the cart of food by tipping it over and stomping on it. In the second, the father gives in to the panda's demand and buys Panda cheese, ending the interaction peacefully, as to avoid another violent outburst.
In 2014, the official Panda Cheese YouTube Channel released a video depicting the Panda living a much happier life, having stopped dedicating his life to forcing people to consume his name-brand cheese. He is much happier, exercises regularly, and has lots of friends.
