A question for the 'over 50 crowd'...

In the couple weeks leading up to the 1971 "Fight of the Century" between Frazier and Ali, they were both in an amusing TV commercial...they were both on a split screen talking on the phone to each other...the commercial ended with Frazier saying, "Clay...hey, Clay..." with Ali acting mad, hanging the phone up...

Who remembers this, what product were they selling, and any ideas were somebody could get a copy (tape, computer file) of that commercial?

"From December 30th 1970 when Frazier and Ali signed the contract, the build up and hype was like nothing seen before or since in sports history regarding the promotion and build up! There were specials on ABC's Wide World of Sports almost weekly. Interviews by celebrities, politicians, and even the average person were constantly being aired. Newspapers and Sports sections always had something on the fight from a variety of different angles. And Vitalas shave lotion filmed two television commercials with both fighters taking turns hanging up on each other. Everybody had an opinion on this fight, and you didn't have to be a Boxing or Sports fan to have one."
