any tricks?

HICCUPS! They always seem to come at the worst moment. Trying to fall asleep, in the middle of an important test, at the movies...
Every person seems to have their own tricks that they believe will cure the nuisances. One of my personal favorites is pinching your earlobes. (No, it's not crazy!)
What are some of your remedies?

close your eyes and dream of a white horse- silly but works.

This works for others with the hiccups. Tell them that you will give them a dollar if they can do it again.

fact : only the first three hiccups in any one cycle are physical. the rest are psychological, hence why things like pinching earlobes, olding breath, being scared, etc, work.

why i know this, i have no idea.

one shot of sugar water usually does the trick...where you'll get a shot glass and sugar in the middle of class is beyond me...
