As part of a school science project in 2004 at Pakuranga College, two 14-year-old school girls (Anna Devathasan and Jenny Suo) discovered that Ribena, a blackcurrant fruit juice drink sold in 100 ml ready-to-drink containers contained very little Vitamin C, contrary to advertising for the product. Approaches by the two teens to the company did not resolve the issue but the matter was publicised on national consumer affairs television show Fair Go and came to the attention of the Commerce Commission (a government funded 'consumer watch-dog'). The commission's testing found that Ribena contained no detectable vitamin C.

Sabre has taken over the branches of Dunder Mifflin and Gabe Lewis (Zach Woods), the coordinating director for emerging regions from Sabre, is going around greeting the branches. When Gabe arrives, Michael Scott (Steve Carell) has everyone greet him with a standing ovation and Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) and Erin Hannon (Ellie Kemper) sing a Scranton-themed version of "Party in the U.S.A." by Miley Cyrus and mispronounce "Sabre" (as sah-bray), per Michael's assumption that that was the correct pronunciation. In a conference room meeting, Gabe shows a video of Florida-based printer sales company Sabre starring Christian Slater and then shares some of the company's new policies, including the use of reusable drink containers, fewer vacation weeks, and site blocking of time-wasting sites like YouTube and Twitter, which is done in the background by IT assistant Nick (Nelson Franklin). Michael is resistant to the changes and requests a meeting with Gabe's superiors.
