Panda Cheese is an obscure cheese brand from Egypt. However, they were known for their series of advertisements which went viral on the internet and even managed to win awards from the Cannes Lions. It became a minor Memetic Mutation in the internet with some people doing a parodies of it.

The ads would start out with someone offering someone else a Panda Cheese and the person would refuse it for whatever reasons. Then a Panda would come on screen, stare at the person for a while, then starts destroying their things. The implicit message being that you shouldn't refuse a Panda Cheese in the first place.
