[Shinno1337]

[VaultMasterDBT]

1981? Try 1971.

[jflash214]

these things made you as mad as a hatter.

[carmelskinqt]

Did anyone notice the 'from chemists only' written at the very end? That was probably a selling point then... Now we want everything 'natural'

[jflash214]

@carmelskinqt just means by prescription only ( in England)

[ALLINKNOTS]

I can't weight to give all the trick-or-treaters ayds on halloween.

[Carbon657]

This is very true you do lose alot of weight with AyDS, when i was younger my parents would tell me off at dinner time for not sharing my AyDS with my brothers and sisters, i was even told to give the family dog AyDS.

[reymatt76]

I like the forlorn look on the waitress' face when Mary refuses the slice of cake. What they didn't show is her and her friend smoking that glass pipe in the loo 5 minutes before she offered dessert. They were out of cash, so they ditched the bill and left the waitress AYDS as a tip.

[electrogeek77]

It helps when you're not wearing 10 layers of clothing...

[YouCantKillMrGOATSE]

[retardriot911]

Thank goodness for AYDS.

[BerserkNovaShenron]

AYDS saved my life...lmaooo

[Whammo1963]

The diet candy was never called "AIDS" in the USA, you are hallucinating...

[homer424]

Sorry, Charlie, they were. I remember it as clear as day and the news magazine reports about the "unfortunate" name of this product when the disease was just coming about. Plus just a quick search for them will yield a bunch of early 80's US commercials.

[Whammo1963]

Put up a link then...

[OofusTwillip]

It was always called "AYDS" (pronounced "AIDS", hence the "unfortunate name" when AIDS first hit), in the USA & everywhere else it was sold. This was because the manufacturer couldn't trademark the word "AIDS" (as in "diet aids"), because "aids" is a generic term, meaning "helpers". So the manufacturer came up with the alternate spelling, which could be trademarked. It was always "AYDS", never "AIDS", but it was pronounced the same, so it had to go.

[geo31]

Remember AYDS? Fuck, I actually ate them, lol! And if I remember right, they were damn good, chocolaty with caramel. Wonder if they're still available, only under a different name, lol.

[petey8887]

they were around for most of the '80s, despite the unfortunate irony in its name. however, sales dropped by as much as 50% by 1988, so they tried to change its name, but it was never enough to bring sales back to where they were before the confusion, so they were pulled off the shelves.

[Jeff98177]

They renamed them SlenderAyds or something like that. They really did work but when AIDS the disease came along, that was the beginning of the end.

[FidelioRoo]

Thank goodness for ayds... XDXDXD

[Boonehams]

Yes, thank goodness for Ayds indeed. We'd be a lot better off if we got Ayds.

[fingah11]

Question! Why take diet pills when you can enjoy ayds?

[furbearingbrick]

1972? Wow, it was around for quite a while then.

[bgenaral]

lmmfao

[dabeesta17]

I remember it being called "AIDS" in the USA...remember..."AIDS helps control your appetitite so you can lose weight"...yes, I'm a geek with no life!! :)

[OofusTwillip]

It was always called "AYDS" in the USA and in all other countries where it was sold. This was because the manufacturer couldn't trademark the word "AIDS" (as in "diet aids"), because "aids" is a generic term, meaning "helpers". So the manufacturer came up with the alternate spelling, which could be trademarked. AYDS appear to have been invented in the late 1950s (based on the fact that ads for it started appearing in women's magazines at that time).

[daisytothechain]

"thank goodness for aids" ARF!

[vulga]

Sorry, you weren't the one to originally upload it. I upped this a long time ago, then it got taken on by the b3ta.com newsletter when someone else had upped it to their site. Now it's all been tagged by Divx and whoever else. I possibly am the only person with a "clean" version of it, untagged etc.

I should have tagged it before I put it up, but there you go!

[GuruLarry]

Lol, I was the one who originally uploaded this video to the web, it's amazing how far it spread.

Also it's from 1972, not 1981.

[wearisrachel]

haha
