Can you help me come up with this old TV commercial?

Don't ask me why, but I'm on a mission to remember a TV commercial that was on a lot in (I think?) the 1980s (in the USA).

Here's the part I remember, though my memory might be faulty because if it was really how I remember it, it would not be hard to find with a search, but I can't find it.

In part of the ad, a kind-of-sleazy "car-salesman type" character who is supposed to represent the hypothetical competitor that you should avoid says:

"You want fast?  Bada bing!"  (or something like that)

I *guess* the ad might have been for some company who does things fast, and not just make false promises that they will, like courier services, pizza delivery, etc.  But I'm not sure.

The commercial ran more than 20 years ago, maybe 30.

I'm sorry, that's all I remember.  Anyone else remember it?  Anyone know the product?  Anyone have a link to the actual commercial?  

Thank you!

    It sounds vaguely familiar but then years of TV commercials have turned my brains into tapioca pudding.  The "You want fast?" part leaves me thinking Alka-Seltzer.
