Hiccups

[Shivari]

Everyone says that their cure "Never fails".

I have tried at least half of the miracle cures on this thread with no success.

I'm telling you that skipping up my cure would be a very, very foolish thing to do. It's seriously the only thing that truly works.

Or whatever, enjoy hiccuping forever.

Or maybe I don't know, different things work for different people. Was your comment sarcastic?

It did have sarcasm rooted into it.

But really guys, I haven't seen lemon juice fail on anyone; I think the sourness has something to do with it. I'm not saying your little tricks don't work, I'm just saying that mine is at least worth a try one day.

I can't believe I'm pushing so hard for a hiccup cure...

I know everyone says their cure never fails and such, but every time I've tried mine it's worked. Doesn't mean it will work for you.

The only problem is you can't do it to yourself.

It's pretty simple.

All you have to do is offer to buy the person's next hiccup for $50. If they can hiccup one more time, you'll give them $50. It has never failed to stop hiccups, and get a laugh.

Slow down breathing, long drawn breathes.

A table spoon of sugar works for me every time.

Lemon juice

Seriously, just try it. They go away instantly, it only takes a small sip, and it never fails.

This is true, But well...It has to be lemon juice, as in 100% lemon, really painful on the tongue.

Mmm, lemon juice.

I get them at work, so I can't do too much about them.

I've heard saying the word "Them" works.
Putting a tiny piece of paper on your forehead.
Chicken dance.

And the regulars.

Yawn. (this doesn't work, but it's what I always end up doing. Hickup + yawn = VERY LOUD HICKUP)

You want my cure for hickups? Do you have the hickups? Show me. (math teacher always cured my hickups this way, you can not hickup when you need to.)

 

[Xojins]

Try to say "Now" right before your next hiccup. If you do it I'll send you 10 bucks

Mine are so intense, they hurt. Try just not breathing.

Interestingly, hiccups are a proof of evolution, they're a direct consequence of us having evolved from fish, basically it's a sort of hold over gill related mechanism that doesn't work well since we no longer need to syphon air from the water.

I don't have the proper book in front of me right now though, so I might have misremembered it (the book is called "Your Inner Fish")

 

[Space Spoons]

Fright. It's worked for me every time. It's got to be a genuine scare, though. Sometimes, when I hear my sister hiccuping in her room, I knock on her door and swing a book or something similar at her face just as she's opening the door, stopping just short of hitting her, and giving her a good scare.

 

[stormcaller]

Force burp after each one, it doen't work too well but it sure pisses people off! (Guess I'm a real life troll)

 

[Lukeje]

Hmm... I normally cure hiccoughs (this spelling is cooler) by holding my breath. Scaring never seems to work, though drinking form the 'wrong-side' of a cup sometimes works.

 

[Jharry5]

The traditional remedies don't work.
I just ride the storm...

I've found that all the 'never-fail' remedies 'never-fail' to prove my first sentence correct.
