Nothing Says Delicious Chocolaty Goodness like AIDS

Seriously...how was this a good idea? I often question how a lot of ideas get past the people in charge (i.e. this suggestive Yogi the Bear poster), but wow...this one is right up there at the top.

Ayds — an appetite suppressant candy — enjoyed strong sales for much of the 1970s and 80s, until — alas — that other AIDS came along. At that point, the Campana Company decided to change the name to Diet Ayds.

That obviously didn't work.

Fast Food Advertising vs Real Fast Food

I'm sure that most people are cognisant of the fact that fast food advertising lies to its customers on a daily basis. The food is never as healthy, tasty, or delicious as they advertise. Nor does anyone have this much fun eating at McDonald's. And while I'm not going to say that I hate or don't eat fast food at times, I had no idea that the advertising was this egrecious. Have a look.
