came down with a major case of hiccups tonight

So I googled hiccup remedies. Low and behold I found one that actually worked...and it's really simple.

I drank a glass of water while plugging my ears. Ideally, you'd need a straw to do this, but since I didn't have a straw handy, I just used to my thumbs to plug my ears while my other fingers held the glass.

It actually worked!

I read something similar but it also involved a nurse, a monkey, and a jar of Vaseline.

A heaping Spoonful of Peanut Butter has always worked for me.

Hold my breath and count to 10. Always works for me. Good luck

just reaffirms my belief that all hiccup remedies were designed to make you look as stupid as possible while doing them

The winner of this year's Ig Nobel Prize in Medicine went to Francis M. Fesmire of the University of Tennessee College of Medicine, for discovering that "Stick two fingers in your butt and call me in the morning" really DOES work as a cure for hiccups. His medical case report "Termination of Intractable Hiccups with Digital Rectal Massage" delves into all the ifs ands and (ahem) buts of the methodology.
