You Mean Night-A-Mans! (Part 1 of 2)

Vitamins After Dark!

---

“What’s in a name?” the immortal bard asks through Juliet.  Well, we want to let all you Romeos out there know that the name is the first thing about High Potency Night-A-Mins from Origins that grabs our attention.  Standing alone, “Night-A-Mins” would be no more than a mere dash of attempted cuteness, meant to signify something to do with nighttime vitamins.  But “High Potency” adds an element of super-charged, chest-puffing manliness that commands our attention, making us stand up tall and salute.  Can we men evolve from nocturnal emissions to nocturnal emulsions?  Does Dick Wolf have a new pilot in the works called “Law & Order:  Vitamins After Dark?”  (And please cue the iconic two-tone that follows “These are their stories.”)  Should we be looking for a product warning advising us to consult a physician for late night, vitamin-driven adrenaline bursts lasting more than four hours? 

Side-bar here, prefaced by the disclaimer that we have no experience with certain purple pills – neither medical nor recreational.  But what exactly is it about the 4-hour mark that means the alarm bells should suddenly go off?  In all honesty, wouldn’t you start to get just a little bit worried by, say, the 3:45 mark?  We don’t know about you, but we think that any refractory period lasting as long as it takes an elite runner to bang out a mile is cause for concern….

OK, back to over-the-counter products.  For those of you unfamiliar with Origins, it’s a cosmetics company best known for its natural skincare products.  You can shop for Origins products at their standalone retail locations (which are often located within shopping malls), at dedicated spaces within large department stores or at origins.com.  Night-A-Mins is a night cream, so you apply it to the face and neck before lights-out.  As the product’s tagline indicates – “Mineral-enriched oil-free renewal cream” – it’s intended to combat wrinkles and other signs of aging, by refreshing and rejuvenating your skin.

The external packaging for Night-A-Mins neatly conveys the Origins identity as a modern natural products company.  It’s a small, square box made of lightweight cardboard that deploys white, light green and dark green – both as background colors, and to communicate the printed information on the box.  The Origins logo, two BFF trees standing side-by-side, is featured prominently on the box, in dark green.  Inside is a compact, circular plastic container containing 1.7 oz . of Night-A-Mins.  The jar is a burnt orange or caramel type color, with raised bright white printing sprayed directly onto it, and it has a white screw-on top.  The jar should fit neatly into your medicine cabinet, or on your bathroom sink/countertop area.
