The Ayds Diet Pill

WOW! I thought I had been dreaming those. My mom always had a box of these around and I remember begging her to share the "candy" with me. I also remember being so very upset when she would not give me any. When I was older, after they had dissapeared I always wondered if any kid had gotten sick from eating them.

LOL, I saw this on WebJunk 20 on VH1! It's hilarious. I remember my mom telling me she tried them back in the day and said they didn't really work so she stopped buying them. She also told me that there wasn't any connotation back then to any disease, so no one thought the name was all that hilarious back then.

I heard many children at this stuff up like candy well it was candy.

A scientific study found an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke in women who used phenylpropanolamine.

My mom kept a box of these in the bathroom cupboard. I was an excellent "sneak eater" so I used to use the bathroom a LOT! I would sneak these little munchies into my pocket to enjoy later. There were no sweets allowed in the house, so to me these things were delicious. Yep. They were just candy.

Yeah, I blogged about this before!

This advert is soooo funny!

I'm showing my age now, but I used these - they were just like little lumps of chewy fudge, very tasty! You were just meant to have one when you were hungry. They contained some sort of "filler" so you did not feel hungry, and were sweet, so that your sweet tooth was satiated.

Looking back, I guess a glass of water would have had the same effect, but been a lot healthier for you!

I was always overweight as a child and I remember my mom bought these for me. It was before I went to Weight Watchers at the age of 12 so I must have been around 10 years old or so. I had no idea they had phenopropanolamine in them!!

I just remember they were little squares of what was supposed to taste like chocolate individually wrapped in tiny wax paper wrappers. Personally I remember they tasted gross, and on top of that they didn't work. :P

HEY THOSE THINGS WERE GOOD WE ALWAYS HAD THEM AT MY HOUSE, BUT EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE WAS FAT, SO..............THEY DID NOT WORK FOR US..BUT THEN AGAIN OUR WHOLE LIFESTYLE WAS BASED ON FOOD AND EATING, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY WE EVEN HAD THOSE SITTING THERE NEXT TO THE HOMADE CHEESECAKE AND HOT MILK CAKES AND HOMADE SAUSAGE, FUDGE AND DUMPLINGS.

My mom and I both took these things sometime in the late 60s or early 70s. I was too young to understand why we would eat these awful tasting cubes instead of a good old Hershey bar from the corner store. And I could only have one a day? Forget that!

I must be young because I have never heard of this type of candy but it would be nice if it really worked. I love chocolate and would most likely full in love with it if I new it would help my appetite.

when i was a kid my aunt and i ate a whole box of these and then went out to dinner!

What about these natural hunger surpressient, like peanut butter, protein, or lean grass fed meats? This pill is unsafe. Period.

I think it's better to go on an atkins diet than to do this. Eat fish. But don't take this frankinpill.

Yep, I remember Ayds. I remember taking them. You were supposed to consume two with a cup of hot water, about 20 minutes before a meal. I don't recall that they did anything for me at all, weight-loss-wise.

Find anything on Metrecal? An early "slimfast" type drink. There were also Metrecal cookies . . .

Oh my goodness, I remember this product. I never did try it. At least I don't think I did. lol

Is this product still on the market to be purchased. It really worked for me, and I was wondering whatever happend to it.
