Let's hear it for fourteen-year-old New Zealand girls Jenny Suo and Anna Devathasan, whose innocent 2004 science fair project led to huge fines being levied against pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline. The girls tested the vitamin C content of several brands of juice, and most of them turned out to contain more of the nutrient than the packaging indicated. But GlaxoSmithKline's Ribena, which is marketed as containing four times the vitamin C of orange juice, had no detectable level of the vitamin. The girls tested it several times and still came up with nothing.

New Zealand's Commerce Commission launched an investigation which culminated in a smackdown for the world's second largest drug company, which is responsible for paying fines of $156,000 USD for having made false claims regarding its product.

Jenny and Anna appeared in court for part of the trial, but were too busy at school to attend the sentencing portion. They're enjoying their celebrity, though: "It's incredible to think you can have this sort of impact as a consumer and as a kid." It's inspirational, too.
