I was leaving you the credit for the other method, MC.

I always find drinking 9 sips of water works. And it has to be precisely 9 sips otherwise it doesn't work for some bizzarre reason.

Absolutely, Exactly what my grand ma have always told me... ! It works 👍

GRanMa Speedster?! Zat YOU!??



Or, have someone surprise or scare the $&*! out of you

BOO!!!!!

hope that helps.

Those are the two methods i rely on...

Suck on a lemon. The sour will contract your troath which will help to aclimate the (zwergfeld *german*). Don't know how it is in other languages, the part of which hiccups come from. Works every time for me 'cause drinking water and hold the air ain't working. Evne putting fingers somewhere doesn't help :S

But are Australians not upside down anyway? Does that mean that you'd need to drink water the right way up?

💡 Touché

zwergfeld

I think you mean Zwerchfell, as that translates to diaphragm.

zwergfeld is dwarf field.

1. Suck in as much air as you can, and hold your breath.
2. Push on temples, and hold breath for 10 ish seconds
3. Exhale and remove hands from temples

Hahaha.

When I get hiccups, I discharge a strobe in my eyeballs until I sneeze and they're gone.

 

[Rykon Zero]

When I get a hiccup, I stab myself in the throat and tear out my diaphragm.


Either that, or hold my breath and do some jumping jacks, until I get tunnel vision.

In addition to what I already posted, I find if you take a couple standard forks, and heat them until they begin to warp, then stab them through your throat, it works.

When I first read this thread, I remarked to myself about how long it has been since I had had hiccups... Well, since then, I have had 3 set of the b-tards! UNBELIEVABLE!

And if you concentrate hard enough you can predict the future.

There was a guy on the radio last night who said you can stop hiccups by thinking hard about when the next one will come. I'm not so sure.

This kind of fits in with the way I've been told to get rid of hiccups.

My way is more suited to helping other people get rid of hiccups. I heard it on TV ages ago from a doctor who had treated some kid who'd had hiccups for a few months.

Basically, tell the person that has hiccups that you'll give them £5 if they can hiccup again. They'll be concentrating so hard on trying to hiccup that they wont be able to.

I've tried this on my girlfriend and my mates and it works. Obviously you could substitute the promise of money for a beer or something else they'd want.

So far I've never had to pay out. This is the only thing I know to work 100%.

I've even told my girlfriend to say it to me when I've had hiccups and it works!
