An early 80s (or late 70s) commercial for a candy called Ayds.
Ayds Diet Candy
The HIV positive candy.
Advert[]
A woman is seen eating some Ayds, claiming that she is not gaining weight from them due to their diet plan. An announcer then describes the candy.
Why It's Cursed[]
It's already odd that there's a candy that claims to make you lose weight, but what REALLY makes this cursed is its name, which sounds eerily similar to AIDS (even though AIDS wasn't relevant at the time until the late 80s pandemic).
Trivia[]
- According to a YouTube comment, this candy contained benzocaine and later changed to phenylpropanolamine, which is now banned for causing strokes.
