What yal know about that Aids candy?

[Take It In Blood]

Apparently these were real commercials during the 1970s (before Aids hit in the 80s, I know the creator was probably mad as sh1t afterwards)



Ayds - Wikipedia

By the mid-1980s, public awareness of the disease AIDS caused problems for the brand due to the phonetic similarity of names. While initially sales were not affected, by 1988 the chair of Dep Corporation announced that the company was seeking a new name because sales had dropped as much as 50% due to publicity about the disease.[3] While the product's name was changed to Diet Ayds (Aydslim in Britain), it was eventually withdrawn from the market.

Could of chose so many names to change the candy to but the best they could come up with was "Diet Ayds". Hopefully the marketing team was fired.
