I remember them, if I recall correctly the box they came in was white with red stripes?

Yeah, that's them, and the name was written in a very flowing red font on the box.
I'm sure I remember ads that used the ice-cream ad music, but I might just be misremembering the ice-cream ad.

AYDS

Ayds slimming biscuits were marketed just before the advent of "AIDS" the disease, needless to say once Auto Immune Difficency Syndrome arrived that was the end of the little slimming biscuits ) unfortunate timing for the makers of Ayds . . .

Breo

A white/cream drink from Guinness

I never tried it, based on appearance I think it would have been nice.
Ok that might make no sense but I liked the colour and the marketing

Well it must have flopped as it didn't last long

Jet petrol stations, they ended up merging with Statoil who have also since disappeared, possibly amalgamated into Topaz.

Thalidomide.

Its a miracle drug although not used in any case when a woman is pregnant it has uses in cancer treatment, leprosy and many more.
So it went away for a while but it is very much back.
