@paxamice: #MamaMia This now-iconic #AlkaSeltzer commercial premiered in #1969 and featured an Italian couple in the kitchen trying a plate of fresh spaghetti and meatballs. But the catch is that the commercial is a commercial within a commercial. The actor does repeated takes, exclaiming, "Mamma Mia! That's a spicy meatball!" while a director repeatedly yells out instructions. Starring the actor Jack Somack, it was a real game-changer back in the day. The commercial was cleverly filmed as a series of "outtakes," making it one of the pioneers of faux commercials for products that don't actually exist. They really had us hooked with the storyline, and it wasn't until the very end that they revealed the product—Alka-Seltzer! Talk about a genius twist that caught us all off guard! #TikTokRadio #spruck

If you're around in 1969, at least as kids, we used to quote this all the time.

I always loved this commercial! My sisters and I would quote from it often: “That’s spicy meatball, Lor.”
