That reminds me of the "Ayds" diet candy. Anyone else remember that?

Not until you mentioned it.

AIDS jokes kind of lost their allure for me after a friend lost her son to AIDS from a blood transfusion.

But it's not a joke - that was a real product. Like Jamestown and Flavor-Aid, the same with Ayds and AIDS - only Ayds wasn't able to rename their product back onto the market.

Oh sorry, what I meant was that I hadn't remembered Ayds until you mentioned it. I had totally forgotten what it was for as well.

Wow - those are US-eBay prices on that EPa! I thought they'd go for cheaper over in Germany. And there are 14 bids on it.

This guy allways bid high on rations (see his feedback), but €20 for a single EPa, maybe he is possessed by it or in panic by something?!
