Today, the nine year old girl I was babysitting got the hiccups, so I told her to drink some water upside down to cure them. She ended up vomiting on the floor. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

My doctor always told us to eat a teaspoon or a packet of sugar. More often than not, it cured or hiccups.

My science teacher taught me a trick to cure hiccups that's very effective. Just plug your nose and drink as much water as you can. I use it whenever I have the hiccups and it works every time.

She should have plugged her ears and sang a note.

Dear god, upside down.....??? Just eat a spoon of peanut butter, does the trick just fine and saves you all that clean up.

Try a shot of vinegar next time

The spoonful of sugar works for me...and also a something hot (soup or tea) works as well...

what works for me everytime is take ten swollows of water in a row without stopping.

What a horrible method. Just drink water for 13 gulps. Works every time.

My mom always said you had to scare someone to cure their hiccups.. So when I got the hiccups as a kid she would hide and jump out and scare me. Not sure if it worked, but I think I did pee my pants once from it.

Yeah but did the hiccups stop?
