Motivated by research that says British schoolchildren are more knowledgeable than adults when it comes to vitamins, Plenish set up a Little Shot Shop staffed by kids. Plenish's survey revealed that one in five British school children could correctly identify the 13 essential vitamins but just 5% of adults could do the same.
At the Little Shot Shop set up on Portobello Road, the kids quizzed passersby and gave out wellness shots from the brand's lineup like Ginger Immunity and Mango Sunshine, which provide 100% of daily Vitamin C and D, respectively.
Plenish also set up an online vitamin quiz so that adults can test what they know to be true about vitamins. One in 10 adults think ketchup is included in the recommended five-a-day and one in four believes broccoli is a protein.
