Police in the UK gave out free lollipops to people leaving nightclubs
People who drink at nightclubs sometimes become rowdy and unpredictable after too many drinks, which can lead to trouble. So, in 2015, police in the UK came up with an excellent plan to help keep things calm when those people leave the pub.
To ensure that people would leave nightclubs safely and without incident, police officers began giving away lollipops. The most astonishing thing about the method is that it was effective; occupiers were too focused on their candy to create a disturbance or become embroiled in altercations.
