My sister and I were in high-school during Ayd’s popularity, and being a typical high-school girl, she was always conscious about her weight. Of course, she bought a box or two of Ayd’s. She let me taste one-- it was essentially a chalky chocolate caramel. The box included directions, such as a severely calorie limited diet, and instructions to drink a glass of warm water while eating the candy. That was to fill you up and slow down eating habits.
