It was Ayds, right? I remember those ads – they were featured in a bunch of magazines…if I recall correctly, the candy was supposed to be an appetite suppressant.

This is not the same exact subject you just covered but you just caused me to have a 40 year flashback. The next door neighbor had a terribly obese girl who one day proudly told me her mom got her “diet candy”. She really believed that eating this stuff was going to make her thin.

I didn’t think too hard about it at the time but as the years rolled on, that poor thing was obese the rest of her life. I can certainly see the danger when people imagine too much hope from such silly claims without the willingness for a real nutritional makeover.

I find it hard to believe that there can be a “healthy candy”. For some reason the two words just don’t gp together, and probably never will.

It will probably become something that people can eat and still feel good that they are “doing the right thing”.
