There's a 30-second television vitamin supplement commercial where an attractive mom sets up a living room full-size boxing punching bag for her grown daughter, and cheers her on as she goes to town on it in 6-oz gloves.

The daughter had fantastic technique.

One A Day vitamins have been around forever. I’m sure this ad is intended to appeal to our modern sensibilities of women being empowered and able to compete in combat sports like boxing.

Now, compare it with this One A Day ad from the 1960s, explaining that mom needs her vitamins so she can keep up with the cooking, cleaning, and laundry that her family demands of her.

That vintage housewife commercial is a great find.  The narrator seemed to have a fixation on "potency" as an important characteristic of a vitamin supplement.  Almost Freudian.
