6 Hilariously Bad Product Names That Actually Exist

Ayds Diet Candy – The Name That Aged Like Milk

Before the 1980s, Ayds was a wildly popular weight-loss candy that flew off the shelves. Then the AIDS epidemic hit, and suddenly nobody wanted to be associated with the word. Sales plummeted, because no matter how effective the candy was, people didn’t want to walk up to a counter and ask for Ayds. The product was quietly discontinued, but the name lives on as one of the most unfortunate branding decisions in history.
