The 'Hiccupop' is here to save the day! 16-year-old Mallory Kievman of Manchester, Connecticut, has developed a lollipop that helps to stop the nagging case of the hiccups.
I've heard about some weird remedies for dealing with hiccups, but never have I heard about the variation that Loren Petisce came up with this morning.
No, I hadn't been drinking before my wife and I were seated in a booth at Riccardi's last night. Just as I sat down, the hiccups began. They were loud, and it was embarrasing to see the other patrons look my way and smile. As I waited for our server so that I could request a glass of water, I tried holding my breath. That didn't work.
