Hiccupops: 13-year-old girl invents lollipop to cure hiccups

Mallory Kievman, 13, had the hiccups. So the innovative Connecticut teen set about researching a cure, eventually creating a successful one in her family's kitchen: hiccup-ending lollipops she's named Hiccupops.

Made from apple cider vinegar and sugar, the lollipops are designed to overstimulate throat nerves responsible for the hiccup contractions, cancelling out "the message to hiccup," she told the New York Times.

She admits she's still "tweaking the taste."
