Hiccups, we all get them from time to time, and the most annoying thing about them is they are so darn hard to get rid of. But 13-year-old Mallory Kievman seems to have finally found a cure to this irritating problem – a hiccup-stopping lollipop called the Hiccupop.
Mallory's quest to find a real cure for hiccups started during the summer of 2010. She had tried to cure her uncontrollable hiccups by swallowing saltwater, making herself gag, eating a spoonful of sugar, drinking a glass of water upside-down or sipping pickle juice. None of those seemed to work on their own, but the ambitious young girl was determined to find a real cure for the annoying problem man has been facing since the beginning of time. Fast forward two years and almost 100 folk remedies tried, Mallory Kievman has reached her goal and is starting a company to commercialize and promote her magic product – Hiccupops.
Believe it or not, the stubborn inventor created the special hiccup-stopper right in her family's kitchen, in Manchester, Connecticut. After a lengthy process of trial and error, Mallory decided to incorporate her three favorite cures – lollipops, apple cider vinegar and sugar - into one killer combo she named Hiccupops. "It 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," the 13-year-old says.
But Mallory didn't just rest on her laurels after inventing Hiccupops, she went on to present her product to the world, and during a convention for kids, she met Danny Briere, a serial entrepreneur and founder of Startup Connecticut. She new that people would immediately fall in love with Hiccupops or just think she was nuts. Lucky for her, and everyone who hates hiccups, Briere loved her idea and decided to help this young girl launch her own company. "It's very rare, when you're evaluating businesses, that you can envision a company or product being around 100 years from now. Hiccupops is one of those things. It solves a very simple, basic need", Briere said about Mallory's invention, and it's hard to disagree with him on this one.
Now, Mallory Kievman will have her own team of consultants, as the University of Connecticut's Innovation Accelerator is preparing to dispatch a group of graduate business students to help the 13-year-old inventor launch Hiccupops, this summer. Mallory hopes her hiccup-stopping lollipop will become a staple of school nurses' offices and drugstores, and that it will even bring serious benefit to people suffering from cancer, as it is known that chemotherapy causes hiccups. Now that she's managed to find a formula that hardens well and is stable for shelf storage, Mallory is focusing on tweaking the taste of her Hiccupops.
Isn't that awesome?? Here's the link to the story - incredible! She's 13!! Wow...
Sexy Jim and I didn't get to run the Color Me Rad race that a lot of you did on Sunday morning. Our friends Randy and Vicki dropped their kids off at 7am so they could go run it, but they came home with packets of color so we could have our ownColor Me Rad party in the backyard! It was so much fun!! The weekend started off though, with 8 little girls partying at our house Friday night and then I painted 70 fingernails the next morning.
Ashton Kutcher did a video for a dating website and it's worth a quick view - my favorite has to be Swordfish and his magical feather or Darl and his Kosher-eating puppy, PooPoo. Happy Humpday!!
The mastermind I have the pleasure of working with every morning is Nick Taylor. This morning, he presented us with three very impressive candidates for the WORST song on the planet! Remember when we thought we'd never hear another song as long as we lived after our ears were exposed to "Friday" from Rebecca Black? Well, you were wrong. She's lucky enough to be in this race with last year's hit, "Prom Night"
You put Channing Tatum and stripping in the same sentence and I'M IN!!
The trailer for Channing's stripper movie "Magic Mike" is out. It's the true story of his brief stint as a male stripper before he was famous. Channing is in it, but not as himself. Alex Pettyfer from "Beastly" and "I Am Number Four" plays the young Channing. Matthew McConaughey is their boss in the film.
I was impressed....so far!! It was just about 30 seconds (starting at 1:06) but so far, it's hot!!
CLICK HERE to see Justin Bieber's sneak preview of the video for "Boyfriend"
He debuted it on "The Voice" last night. The Biebs also revealed that his album "Believe" will be out June 19th and he will perform "Boyfriend" live for the first time on the season finale of "The Voice".
I guess his record label doesn't want us embedding the video anywhere, so that's why you have to click the YouTube link above instead! Sorry!!
Do I talk about Zac Efron too much? Is there such a thing? The dude is all growns up people! His movie "The Lucky One" comes out next weekend and I will be there!!
During an interview with an Austrailian tv show, he demonstrated his fabulously sexy bra-unhooking skills. Flawless. Haaaa!!
I'm not sure who had THIS kind of time on his hands, but it's hilarious. Someone took the time to remake the Journey song "Don't Stop Believing" but with a twist. They only used popular movies to "sing" the song - brilliant!!
And this was a little fascinating to me too. Someone created a slide show of celebrities that look alike. If I told you Kristin Chenoweth, who's five foot nothing, looked like Cameron Diaz, who is 5'9" you'd tell me I was out of my mind. Especially since Cam is at least 4 years older. Take a look for yourself and see if you don't agree.
