When I get the hiccups I find that if I hold my breath long enough, they are gone by the time EMS gets to me. (Kidding). I count the “Missippi’s” between each hiccup, hold my breath for twice that long, and they go away.
I was a kid at the time, perhaps 7 or 8 with a case of hiccups. My grandmother told me to bend far over at the waist and drink a glass of water. I made a valiant attempt to drink, I really did, however the water went mostly in my nose. She must have known what she was talking about because all the water up my nose got me over the hiccups. I thought I was going to drown, but the “cure” worked.
I was in a grocery store when I got a bad case of the hiccups. An employee brought me a spoonful of sugar, I ate it, (the sugar, not the spoon) hiccups all gone!

I remember an episode of The King Of Queens where Arthur blew an air horn at Doug to cure him of his hiccups.

Hiccups CAN be fatal, if they bring on a coronary!!

That’s an egghead/expert’s idea of a scare—it don’t work!

Lemon. Eat some lemon pulp (or squeeze a lemon and slowly drink it if you really can’t chew lemon). It works fine. Bye bye hiccups.

Hey, Broomie. Hold your breath for 30 seconds, and let it out slowly. That usually works.

Eat a spoon of sugar, works for me.

My friend told me, 10 swallows of water without taking a breath. Works every time!

It’s true. Everybody who has ever hicced a cup is either dead or expected to die.

Hmm. It’s been decades since I last had hiccups. I wonder why.
