AIDS antacid tablets roll wrapper - by the Life Savers candy company - 1960's, originally uploaded by JasonLiebig.
Produced and marketed by the Life Savers company in the 1960's, AIDS was an antacid tablet. The same size as a Life Savers candy, though priced considerably higher (Life Savers were 5-cents at the time).
A long-forgotten item with a now-unfortunate name.
Note: My posting these off-beat vintage candy items with these names is not meant to make light of AIDS the disease or its' victims in any way. I share these images for historical perspective, and no disrespect toward anyone is implied or intended.
