Adipose pills were white and red diet pills distributed by Adipose Industries. They were only distributed in greater London, but Adipose Industries had plans to go nationwide. They were sold in groups for a three-week course.
One pill was taken a day. These caused the fat to literally walk away. Use of the pill over three weeks caused the development and eventual birth of Adipose. The pills could be immediately activated with an Inducer disguised as an Adipose Industries pendant, which came free with with the purchase of the pill. The Inducer could also deactivate the pill.
Adipose Industries had one million customers in the London area. After the March of the Adipose the Inducer was activated but the pills were no longer distributed. (TV: Partners in Crime)
