      Remember a diet supplement called AYDS? Leave it to a certain then-new and terrifying disease going around to kill that one!
      That's what happens when companies stubbornly refuse to change their product's name if it sounds stupid. Same thing happened with the ORIGINAL sandwich cookie...HYDROX! "Oreo" was actually the knockoff but they outdid Hydrox because... would you eat something called "Hydrox"?
      But rather than that cookie dump the name that sounds like a laundry detergent crossed with a furry rodent-like pachyderm critter, they stuck with the name and are now relegated to the same world of products that includes Moxie soda, Skybar candy bars and Lifebuoy soap.

I was able to get in contact with one of the creators, Donna Guthrie, to see if the tapes of the full program are still accessible. Hoping she can upload them too so they’re saved from becoming lost media!
    The composer of the song, Nancy Ekberg, only recently passed away in January. Sending best wishes to her family. ❤

I started having an irregular heart beat, and I was waking up during the night time in a panic. I went to the doctor a few times because I thought that it was sleep apnea and I couldn't get any rest.
