Hiccups Remedy??

So yesterday, after great fun at the Scrapbook Junkie and even greater fun driving through flooded streets *grumble*, James and I were laughing with each other and I ended up with the hiccups. Now I don't know anyone that doesn't like having the hiccups. When my poor baby boy gets the hiccups, I feel bad for him because it takes over his entire body. Anyway, I asked James to get me a glass of water and he asked why. I told him that I was going to drink from the far side of the glass in order to get rid of the hiccups. He didn't believe that it would work. If you don't already know, hiccups are basically a spasm of the diaphragm. Depending on how extreme the hiccups are, there are some simple remedies that can cure hiccups.

According to Health911, something sweet or something tart will work.

This just reminds me of the Mary Poppins song. I've tried it once, but it didn't really work for me.

Another common remedy is simply holding your breath.

But how do we know how long to hold it for? And personally, I can't hold my breath if I'm hiccuping. It just makes me laugh.

A funny remedy that just makes me laugh even more is the scare/surprise tactic.

I thought this would work, but when you're expecting it, it never works. I've never been able to be surprised like that.

SO, my home remedy has ALWAYS been drinking from the far side of the glass. And for the record, if my hiccups aren't too bad, it ALWAYS works. So I highly recommend it in the future.
