CURE for hiccups?
Having just reached the official
teenage years, 13-year old
American girl, Mallory Kievman,
is set to launch what she is
claiming is a cure for the dreaded
hiccups.
Kievman’s new company is set
to sell the “cure” which she
created after “curing” a
particularly bad bout of hiccups
in herself two years ago.
The cure, is formulated using
apple cider vinegar, sugar and
lollipops, and was arrived at after
Kievman tried every so-called
hiccup remedy under the sun,
including drinking saltwater,
drinking upside down, eating
sugar and drinking pickle juice.
Now the CEO and Founder of
her own Hiccupops company,
Kievman said the combination of
apple cider vinegar, sugar and
lollipops “triggers a set of nerves
in your throat and mouth that are
responsible for the hiccup reflex
arc”.
“It basically over-stimulates
those nerves and cancels out the
message to hiccup,” she added.
Currently the Hiccupops are
being tweaked for taste, but
Kievman has already applied for a
patent and is set to launch them
commercially with a full team of
financial backers in the near future.
DRIVING can be exercise.
Those that worry that driving to
work gives them no exercise may
want to invest in a pedalpowered
car, like the one created
by Austrian artist, Hannes
Langeder.
The car is in-fact a pedal version
of a Ferrari FXX (track-only) and is
basically a bicycle surrounded by
a Ferrari looking car shell which
took over 12 months to create.
The eco-friendly car’s name,
Fahrradi Farfall FFX, was inspired
by a butterfly, after it was
described as moving ‘silently and
with the weightless elegance of a
butterfly’.
