Hiccups always come at the most random time when you least expect them! My parents use to tell us to hold our breath, put our tongue at the top of our mouth and plug our noses. Sometimes it works, other times it would not.
According to the New York Post, scientists believe they have found a cure to hiccups. They are calling it the Hiccaway. It’s a staw with two tiny holes at the bottom. You place said straw in a cup of water when you have the hiccups and suck. The force from both the water and air is supposed to stop your diaphragm from spasming and get you back to normal. You can buy these contraptions on Amazon for around $15 and they say it had a 92% success rate on all the patients in the study. Personally, I’m not sure that I will be getting one of these because it would be kind of hard to carry it around all the time in case you got a case of hiccups. If you test this product out, let me know how it works!
