ORAL VENT

BEST NEW PRODUCT

Note from Editors: We doubt the originality of this product but included the release today for the sole reason that it contains a test you can take to see if you can breathe through your nose. Other opinion swayers: describes breathing by using the words oral, nasal and mandible, AND (this is the best part) published their required FDA label deeming their products kinda, well, worthless.

DMI - The Chin-Up Company Announces FDA Indications for Chin-Up Strips for Snoring

Chin-Up Strips are used by people who mouth breathe and oral vent during sleep. Mouth breathing can cause loud snoring...
The Chin-Up Strip supports the chin (mandible) during sleep, thereby promoting and enhancing nasal breathing by reducing mouth breathing and oral venting...
The FDA requires following on DMI packaging and website: "Neither Breathe Right nasal strips nor Chin-Up Strips have been shown to be effective in treating Sleep Apnea either alone or in combination."

One can perform a TEST to determine if Chin-Up Strip and Breathe Right strip may reduce or eliminate snoring. TEST -- Close mouth. Inhale and exhale through the nose several times. If snoring was not present during the test, the duo strips may reduce or eliminate snoring.

A DRAMATIC REBRANDING

BEST EXPLANATION OF A BRAND

Eds. Note: We have split opinions about giving up the branding secret. Editor believes it should remain in-house to preserve the mystery of a name and allow the consumer to draw his own conclusion about what a logo really means. E. Colleague thinks all should be revealed. If you know the origin of a brand, it makes you smarter, kinda like listening to classical music.

Fortis is an integrated financial service provider in the banking and insurance markets. A dramatic rebranding occurred in March 2000, when ASLK, Generale Bank, VSB Bank and certain MeesPierson activities changed their name to Fortis Bank. At the same time, AG 1824 became Fortis AG.

The logo
The Fortis logo is composed of three elements:
Fortis symbol
This is based on the typical shape of a town or village. It represents the world around Fortis. It could stand for any community in which Fortis operates. The symbol adds emotion to Fortis's solid image. It is vibrant, powerful and innovative. It also reflects the diversity of the markets in which Fortis operates.
Fortis brand name
This adds a solid, firm and strong base, which is underlined still further by the name itself. In Latin, Fortis means strong or steadfast.
