What snack food was advertised in television commercials starring seven foot, seven inch Romanian NBA player Gheorghe Mureșan?

Snickers. The Mureșan spot, which usually aired only during Basketball broadcasts on TBS, had Mureșan selling his fictitious cologne, ("it smells like cabbage"), on a home shopping channel, with a number of people in the background waiting to take phone orders. None of the phones were ringing, prompting the Snickers catchphrase, "Not going anywhere for a while?".

Philly

I think it happened in 1980: The Flyers lost the Stanley Cup finals to New York Islanders, Phillies lost World Series to KC Royals, 76ers lost NBA Finals to LA Lakers, Eagles lost Super Bowl to Oakland Raiders.
