"Now that's a spicy meat-a-ball" came from Alka Seltzer, just in case you were wondering.

Actually you're both right, the premise of that spot was an actor eating the spaghetti and meatballs and saying ;that's a spicy meatball" but he kept messing up and they were doing take after take, and if I remember correctly his last line was "that's a speecy, spicey meat-a-ball... and then the Alka-Seltzer
I remember that spot being used in a college class as an example of a bad advertisement, people remembered the dialog but not the product.

here ya go
