   Why take diet pills when you can enjoy AIDS… I’m sorry, Ayds?

   Good one! I’m giving that a thumbs up for originality.

    I think this is a 1982 commercial.

    And this commercial is definitely not from the 70s. If I were to venture a guess, I would say somewhere between 1981 and 1984, but probably not before ’81.

    Actually, these commercials ran well into the 80s. I think YouTube has one from 1986. I’m 33, but remember these pills, I didn’t even think about the name, I just remember thinking that the packaging and typeface on the products was ugly. Even though AIDS was named in 1982, people hadn’t really thought about it until Rock Hudson and Liberace died of it – two major celebrities. I remember first reading about AIDS (not AYDS) in Time Magazine when I was 8 or 9 (so 84 or 85).

    This is so funny for all the wrong reasons.

19. Comment by highnrising — January 8, 2010 @ 7:31 am

    It’s from the ’70s.

    AIDS came out in the early ’80s.

20. Comment by RayGordon3a — January 10, 2010 @ 11:56 pm

    It did, but was cqalled GRID, for *** Related ImmunoDeficiency.

21. Comment by QA2 — January 11, 2010 @ 7:55 pm

    It’s from the early 80s. The disease didn’t exist yet.

22. Comment by DutchManticore — January 12, 2010 @ 9:55 am

    HAHAHAHA AYDS.
    I can’t believe they actually picked THAT name

23. Comment by EggmanDrCuckooMan — January 12, 2010 @ 9:59 am

    Not really. Ayds was just some diet candy with an unfortunate name, while AIDS is responsible for the death of many. It’s far more likely that Ayds will be forgotten by the majority while AIDS, if it’s ever cured, will probably end up being vital to future medical research. Of course, this ad will still be darkly hilarious to those who still know/find out about it, but a diet candy won’t ever overshadow a terminal STD.

    they were actually pretty tasty. an expensive way for a child to really **** off a mom desperate to lose weight. oh, and yes, i get it, AIDS/Ayds, hilarious and dark and edgy in hindsight, lands yes. pff. when AIDS is forgotten (and it will be) this will just be another nostalgic advert.
