@martykalkbrenner138 6 месяцев назад

He claims Ayds should have been more aware about their name sounding the same as AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). He is ignoring the fact AYDS registered their trademark in 1946 - decades before the AIDS epidemic.

@mariebelladonna437 6 месяцев назад

This is true. But the creator of Ayds was also very insensitive. For a long time, he refused to change the name of the candy, saying the candy was there first, and people should and would know the difference. He showed a terrible lack of sympathy to those who were affected by the disease. Sadly, not uncommon, at that time.

@CrystalClearNews 6 месяцев назад

It wasn't a good product. People need to diet. With real food not artificial

AIDS replaced the term GRID in 1982-1983.

@pietrayday9915 5 месяцев назад

I remember the cynical chuckles at the time from me and my friends when the TV commercials would come on because of the name, but yeah: the name came way before the disease did. Ayds had problems before the disease put the nails in its coffin - it just didn't seem like it had any traction with its target audience (baby-boomer mothers trying to lose weight after they started having kids, in an era when the candy would have been competing with "mother's little helper", amphetamine weight-loss drugs, in one form or another....)

It is painfully clear that whoever put this together wasn’t around experience a lot of the stuff at the time. For example, the high see Ghostbusters drink holds a very special place in kids hearts from that time. We love those things. They were a huge seller and very popular.were big stuff cookies, also a huge thing at the time.

@mage1439 5 месяцев назад

Also, AIDS wasn't even the first name for the disease. It started out being called GRID. And yes, THAT name is well retired, but there was no reason for anyone to expect the new name to stick, either.

@thecajunphoenix 5 месяцев назад

SlimAyds is an impovement over the original name, although Slimsweet is an even better name. As for AIDS being called GRID, with rare exception such as the Danish woman who died of AIDS in 1977, it was because gay men and IV drug users were the unfortunate first reported cases of the disease.

Not only can you still find bagel bites in the freezer section at grocery stores to this day, they're fine for dinner if a person doesn't have the time to spend hours making dinner. Heck, there's a similar product that's basically microwavable mini hot dogs.

I fondly remember the Carnation Breakfast Bars! They were the dessert that my Mom put into my school lunches when I was in high school. Being quite skinny at the time, it was thought that the bars would help me gain weight. My metabolism thwarted that, but my low blood sugar was better regulated. They also came in handy when I was a busy college student. I also have nostalgia for Chef Boyardi Mini Ravioli. That product actually came out in the 1970s. I had those for lunch or supper when I was growing up. I still occasionally have a can of Mini Ravioli just for nostalgia's sake.

New Coke was genius. That is how they changed Coca cola over to high fructose corn syrup. Coke classic no longer used sugar, but used high fructose corn syrup. People were so glad to have real Coke back, they did not care that the syrup changed the taste. Go get a Mexican Coke and taste the difference.

My dad worked for General Mills from 1972 to 2006. He would tell me that many of the food items they discontinued sold very well. It was production costs and inability to get certain ingredients that caused them to be discontinued. Also, there were restrictions by the government on using certain ingredients that they feared were harmful. I agree some things on the list were legit failures but some of them were great. Many of them they still sell and I buy.

@jewgirl952 6 месяцев назад

I have heard that the entire thing was a ploy to get people's attention away from Pepsi and try "New Coke" out of curiosity - THEN when the inevitable protest came, changing it BACK to the original formula would make the Coca Cola Co. look like swell guys who cared about their customers. They weren't fools, they knew it wouldn't fly, and planned it that way.

My mother always put one in my lunch box along with my peanut butter and jelly sandwich (because she always said sandwiches with meat and mayo will go bad if not refrigerated), a fruit cocktail cup and a banana or apple. I am 62 yrs old and we were poor so in High School I still had to take a sack lunch cause we could not afford the hot meals they served in the cafeteria. The Carnation bars were gold. Many times people would ask if I wanted to trade for something on their hot lunch plate. Wow, I got so many chocolate milks that way. God! Those were the days. 🤩🤩🤩
