Answer: Ace Tomato Company

Fitz-Hume and Millbarge (Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd) were chosen to be decoys so that the real GLG20s could accomplish their mission. Ace Tomato Company was seen several times: the courier who brought the satellite photos of the SS-50 ICBM left the Ace warehouse and arrived in an Ace Tomato van; the crate which Millbarge and Fitz-Hume landed in Pakistan in had the Ace logo on the side; and, within the WAMP facility, boxes with the Ace Tomato logo could be seen.

The real GLG20s were to capture a Soviet SS-50 and launch it in order to test the US anti-ballistic missile system.

Answer: Aeromass

Although Aeromass was larger and more successful than Sandpiper, Roy was still competitive and took every opportunity to tell Joe and Brian what losers he thought they were. Roy offered to buy Sandpiper several times and almost got it in the final episode. Joe was going to Vienna with Helen, and since Brian was going to the islands with Casey, there would be no one to run Sandpiper.

They were set to sell to Roy, but at the last minute, Brian decided to stay in Nantucket and run the airline. "Wings" aired from 1990-1997.

Tess decided to proceed by herself and contacted Jack (Harrison Ford) at Dewey Stone.

After approaching Oren Trask, who was receptive to the idea, Tess and Jack proceeded to work on a deal with Metro. On the day of the big meeting with Trask and Metro, Katharine interrupted, exposed Tess as her secretary and said her own idea had been stolen by Tess.

Answer: Latex

In order to get an extension on his unemployment benefits, George had to prove he'd been looking for a job. He gave the unemployment office the name Vandelay Industries, along with Jerry's home telephone number and address. George later explained to Elaine and Jerry that Jerry was Vandelay Industries, he manufactured latex, and he was thinking of hiring George as his latex salesman.

When the call came from the unemployment office, Kramer, who knew nothing about this, answered the phone and told the caller they had the wrong number. From the bathroom, George called out that Kramer should say Vandelay, and eventually came running out, tripped and fell. Walking back in to his apartment, Jerry saw George sprawled on the floor with his pants down and said, "And you want to be my latex salesman."
