AJ says stop thinking about them

My suggestion is to turn on a tap, put your fingers in your ears and drink a lot of water. No joke, it helps me

but you have to drink from the far side of the cup!

I used to take a breath and try and hold it (like shove it down and try and hold it as long as I could (tense up your osophegos like you're holding your breath). Seemed to work everytime for me.

Tried taking a teaspoon of vinegar or sugar before, they didn't seem to work for me. Old wives tales perhaps?

[NighthawkNZ]

Say "One" slowly.

Get a strawberry milkshake.

Download the video from this thread (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=706052&postcount=1).

Watch it while drinking the milkshake.

I doubt you'll worrying about hiccups afterwards.

Hiccups are nasty...

[Conquiztador]

A bottle of JD always works for me. Or perhaps I just cant remember the hickups?

[dino3310]

drink a glass of water backwards, drink from opposite side of glass you gota bend over forward to do it.
its always worked for me

[Winter]

find someone nearby. Ask them to offer you money to hiccup.

Doesn't need to be much, a simple;
"I'll give you a dollar if you hiccup again!" Usually suffices.

wow
a lot of old wives tales but seriously holding ur breath agressivly if that makes sense take a huge breath and atempt to exhale but keep holding

hiccups are a spasm of the phrenic nerve which enters the diaphram hold ur breath and it will stop twiching. u just need to calm it down

Drink a huge glass or water non-stop or get someone to give ya a real fright. Preferably someone u don't know so well. These sometimes work.

[Luker]

They are gone, lasted about 4 hours...

Fell asleep and they were gone when I woke up. :)

Wouldnt wish them on any1, so so so annoying.

hmm was more referring to the "drink upside down" "look up drink a glass of water spin round four times and do the hokey pokey" that sort of thing

[Mental Trousers]

This will fix it (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2299306?dopt=Abstract) guaranteed.

Get a watermelon, eat the whole watermelon. Will Help.

It happens when there's too much build up of gas and you're not releasing it from the right place.

Second that,but can use a straw and large glass of water,or have someone block your ears whilst you drink the water,usually about 200-300 mls will do.

[n0regret5]

get somone to punch you in the guts, on an upward angle. as stupid as it sounds, it kinda resets your diaphragm. as well as hurting like hell and winding you.
if it doesn't work, try the glass of water thing, when you get your breath back

[steveb64]

Best thing ever (esp. if you have young kids) is Woodwards Gripe Water! Which is basically a sugary syrup with dill seed juice.

Next best thing - works for me and (now older) kids - is a teaspoon of sugar - BUT you have to suck it on the teaspoon, and let it dissolve slowly! Don't just swallow it.
