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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was babysitting a 9-year-old kid, when she got thirsty and asked for a drink. All I could find was some kind of Mexican fruit drink, but I didn't realize until too late that it was actually hard liquor. I had to scrub her mouth out with toothpaste and put her to bed to cover it all up. FML
Today, my five-year-old daughter told me she was going to throw up. I told her to rush to the bathroom. I followed her a few seconds later, only to find her sitting on the toilet and vomiting onto the floor. FML
Today, I was babysitting my baby cousin. I was lying on my back playing with her, while holding her up in the air. As I was doing that, I made cooing noises and funny faces to get her to laugh. She laughed and threw up in my mouth. FML
Today, after I finished giving my baby a bottle then burping her, I lifted her up and was bringing her in for kisses. As I was doing this, I felt this warm liquid hit my lips and slide into my mouth. I instantly pulled her back and she'd vomited. It took everything out of me not to vomit myself. FML
Today, after hours of trying to put a screaming baby to sleep, she finally fell asleep in my arms. I was so happy. Then, I got the hiccups. FML
Today, I came down with food poisoning of some sort. After hours of scrambling to the toilet to vomit and empty my bowels, my three-year-old daughter got fed up and is now trying to potty-train me. FML
Today, my daughter was feeling sick. She threw up on the floor. As I was cleaning up her vomit, she threw up on my head. Twice. FML
Today, I spun a two year old upside down, in circles. She wasn't remotely dizzy. I threw up on myself. FML
Today, my 9 year old shitblossom of a sister decided to wake me up by hocking a loogie into my mouth. FML
Today, my hiccups got so intense that I threw up in the middle of class. FML

I have never heard of that trick. Looks like it doesn't work.

Maybe the hiccup problem was a tummy problem and the reason she threw up and got rid of the hiccups

Quick correction on that, you can drown on a 'sip of water'.There is dry drowning and secondary drowning. They can happen with an amount of water as small as a teaspoon and take effect hours afterwards. It is not very common but is more common in small children. So it isn't entirely risk free, generally if you keep an eye out for signs of trouble breathing it is fine though.

Eating a pickle seems to be the best method of hiccup removal for me.

I've found that, ironically enough, the Mary Poppins method works. Take a regular size spoon and get a small scoop of sugar and then put it in your mouth and swallow the sugar. It stops them every time we've tried it.

My uncle always had me hold my breath, and while holding my breath swallow three times. You'll end up breathing in a tiny bit extra, and it's kind of hard at first, but you'll get used to it. It seriously works every single time I've done it and I get hiccups like twice a day. Try that OP! Hope it helps!

Empty your lungs entirely then fill them to their max capacity and hold your breath for around 30 seconds, this "resets" the muscles who's spasms cause hiccups and gets rid of them.
