Unfortunate ad placement; wait for it. (1983)

This commercial for AYDS aired on TBS on July 25, 1983. From Wikipedia: “Ayds (pronounced as “aids“) Reducing Plan Candy was an appetite-suppressant candy which enjoyed strong sales in the 1970s and early 1980s and was originally manufactured by The Campana Company. It was available in chocolate, chocolate mint, butterscotch, and caramel flavors, and later a peanut butter flavor was introduced. The original packaging used the phrase “Ayds Reducing Plan vitamin and mineral Candy;“ a later version used the phrase “appetite suppressant candy.“ The active ingredient was originally benzocaine, presumably to reduce the sense of taste to reduce eating, later changed in the candy (as reported by The New York Times) to phenylpropanolamine.“
