Apologies for the cryptic reference. McVities is a UK biscuit brand. I vaguely recall an ad from my youth where a rumour spread on a airliner that the McVitties were at the back, the passengers all ran aft and the ad then moved to an outside shot showing the airplane nose up heading for a stall. Then again, I can't find it online anywhere so I may have imagined it.
