Hyuck!
So the other day I had the hiccups. Bad. And my usual technique wasn’t working.
Here’s what I do, and I swear it works. Drink water backwards. Take a glass of water, look down at it, and drink from the opposite side you’d normally drink from. Bend over and drink it upside-down. It usually works, I swear.
The other day, it wasn’t working. So I turned to my Twitter peeps for help. Their suggestions were interesting, if not effective.
- Schlomo Rabinowitz: Shock yer system; shoot some whiskey.
- Joshua Bryant: Hold your breath… with your nose plugged… until you just about pass out. It resets your diaphragm!
- Ryan Gantz: I swallow twice while holding my breath. Wife uses two hands to plug her ears & nose while sipping water upside down.
I finally rid myself of the cursed Hyuck!s with a warm bowl of oatmeal. What works for you?
