*Students' vitamin test sparks Ribena court case*
The global drugs giant GlaxoSmithKline faces a court case tomorrow over misleading advertising, after two 14-year-olds found its popular drink Ribena contained almost no vitamin C.
High school students Anna Devathasan and Jenny Suo tested the children's drink against advertising claims that the blackcurrants in Ribena have four times the vitamin C of oranges.
Instead, the two found the syrup-based drink contained almost no trace of vitamin C.
GlaxoSmithKline have made no comment, on the grounds that it could affect the case.
Ribena was first made in the 1930s and distributed to British children during World War II.
It is now sold in 22 countries.
