My mom had them, and I found out where her stash was. Had a pretty good flavor, as I recall.
Yeah...a rather unfortuante name for a product, despite its spelling.

4. I remember my mom used to take those |

I've always thought that to name a food product named "Krusteaz" was sorta ill advised http://www.krusteaz.com/

AYDS. :rolf:
And I also remember when AIDS came along, one of my first responses to hearing it was "AIDS," why are they naming an illness after a candy? :crazy:

9. "Ayds" the diet aid came way before AIDS, the disease. |
|
Read an interesting article on it one time. The product was quite successful until the 80's, when the AIDS scare came along. After that, the company tried altering the name a bit, but kept "ayds" in the name, changing it to something like "Diet-ayds" or something close to that. The executives of the company felt that if they completely took "ayds" out of the product name, that they'd be completely losing any benefit from a once successfull product, sighting the fact that "Kool-aid" and "Band-aid" were still successfull, so why should we have to change our name?
Ahhh, the silly information that stays in my head.

It way before AIDS.
I always thought "Impact" was a pretty bad name for a car.
