The original post reminds me of the old over-the-counter appetite suppressant, Ayds, which came in candy form. It met its demise when AIDS surfaced in the world. The ads and slogans were like "Want to lose weight? Get Ayds!" Doomed. It was an awful product anyway. Its active ingredient was benzocaine if I recall correctly. Blech. Vile.

That said, I find olives, boiled eggs, sardines, avocado, cream cheese, or a small handful of nuts very satiating.
