There was an empty box of these in my childhood home until my parents moved in the mid-00s.

They dulled your taste buds so food would be less tempting. They got fairly popular in the 70s after the US decided that maybe putting amphetamines in OTC diet pills wasn't a great idea, and people were looking for other magic weightloss products.
