Uh.....no.

"Hold muh beer 'n watch this!" PING....

If you want on or off this list, please let me know!

[Wolfie]

Reminds me of the weight-loss candy of the early 80's, called AYDS.

[beaversmom]

The chocolate diet aid called "Aids" didn't last after the early 80's.

[beaversmom]

You beat me to it--I think you are right about the spelling.

[Skooz]

Beat me to it. My grandmother used to have boxes of those things around the house. About 1983, Ayds disappeared.

[A CA Guy]

Can we send a few cases of the stuff to our favorites like Susan, Alec Baldwin and Hillary?

"Hold muh beer 'n watch this!"

You mean "Hold muh Sars 'n watch this!", don't you? ;)

Somewhere right now, there's a bitter old businessman still muttering, "Ayds! We HAD to call it freakin' AYDS!"

What excuse do THESE people have?

[Dimensio]

Would I drink a soft drink called Sars? Well, I might try it if someone told me that it tasted like root beer. I dunno. I'm not so stupid that I would think that I could become seriously ill simply because the beverage shares the same name as a newly discovered virus, especially since I'm well aware that there isn't any connection between the two.

I remember drinking this in Taipei. It's good, wouldn't mind buying it again if they had it here.

[Quick1]

If it's good root beer, yes. I wouldn't let something as stupid as a name stop me from drinking it.

[Cogadh na Sith]

I would drink 'Sars' before I would drink 'Pocari Sweat'.

[JosephW]

Tastes better than Gatorade, but it comes in too tiny a can.

[graycamel]

But most people know you won't get SARS simply by drinking Sars

You can't get a cold from going out into the cold weather, but millions of Americans still believe that nonsense.

Like the Hong Kong Tourist Board's ad: "Come to Hong Kong - It Will Take Your Breath Away!"
