Never Say No to Panda
Never Say No to Panda is a viral advertising campaign launched in 2010 for Panda Cheese, a processed cheese product manufactured by the Egyptian company Arab Dairy. The series consists of three television commercials set in everyday locations—an office, a hospital, and a supermarket—where a person refuses an offer of Panda Cheese, prompting the sudden appearance of a giant, anthropomorphic panda that proceeds to wreak havoc until the cheese is accepted. Each ad concludes with the tagline "Never Say No to Panda," humorously portraying the mascot as an enforcer of irresistible dairy consumption.

Story within a Story
A story within a story, also referred to as an embedded narrative, is a literary device in which one or more characters in the main narrative encounter or present a secondary narrative embedded within it. Multiple layers of stories within stories are sometimes called nested stories. A play may have a brief play within it, such as in Shakespeare's play Hamlet; a film may show the characters watching a short film; or a novel may contain a short story within the novel. A story within a story can be used in all types of narration including poems, and songs.
