13year Old American Invents Lollipop That Cures Hiccups

Mallory Kievman

Whether or not
you find the invention   necessary because you already know that drinking lots of water can cure a hiccup, you still cant take away the fact that the name Mallory Kievman
will remain in history as the 13year old who "discovered" a new way to cure hiccups by inventing her lollipop cure hiccupops (hiccup-pops)

Kievman 13 is said to have been working on her hiccupops for years, blending various known remedies for hiccups before she eventually discovered the recipe that might make her the youngest manufacturer ever. 

What she did was to blend apple cider vinegar and sugar, a gastroenterologist Dr Robynne Chutkan of Georgetown University Hospital believes the hiccupops idea is an ingenious idea that would work.

Kievman already has a team of lawyers who have volunteered to help patent her idea so that it wouldn't be stolen as well as a team of business school undergrads who have taken it upon themselves to market her idea. Kievman is hoping her hiccupops would soon be available in supermarkets and hospitals.    #wow
