Hiccups always come at the most inconvenient time ever! My mom would tell me to hold my breath and plug my nose to get them to go away. Sometimes it would work, other times I was left hanging for a long time. Scientists think they have come up with a way to stop your diaphragm from spasming and get your hiccups to go away faster.
According to the New York Post, you can now buy a staw-like contraption on Amazon for around $15 that stops hiccups. They say there are small holes in the bottom that allow water and air to get forced up through it. This will cause the diaphragm to get some relief and get back to its normal state. This does mean you would have to carry this contraption around in case you got them at an event or in public, but it might be worth it. You never know.
