The AYDS Diet

Yes, AIDS can help you lose weight, but with serious consequences. Namely, death. But the AYDS diet? None of those harsh side effects.

Just when I thought the Calgon commercials were offensive…

flasback, 1983, working in a drugstore after school, women comes up to me and says to you have AYDS? My jaw dropped and then we both realized… and AYDS disappeared from the shelves by the end of the year

The makers of Ayds toyed with the idea of changing the name in the early ’80s, decided not to. To “tee-hee” about their name at this point in time is just lame.

This product was around in the mid-70′s… maybe earlier.

This was part of my grandmother’s diet plan. She had to weigh 95 pounds or my grandfather wouldn’t take her on vacation (to Key West!). LOL She always made it.

Good times!

Another unfortunate name congruence in names is ‘Santorum’ — it’s the term the frothy reside made of lube and fecal material that is sometimes the result from anal sex.

Unfortunately it’s also the surname of a former Pennsylvania Senator! ;-)

Crazy!

I cannot believe that this site would allow a post that would be so completely offensive to members of the gay community. As if gay people with HIV were stigmatized enough, now the gay community itself is getting a laugh at their expense. If this were a black joke it wouldn’t be tolerated at all. Totally disgusted.

It shouldn’t be offensive now. This is merely a discussion of the POTENTIAL offense that could have been taken, resulting in the product’s being discontinued. What I don’t understand is why the product wasn’t simply renamed. Surely some people were seriously effected by the product’s discontinuation.
