Have you heard all the old wives tales for a cure for the hiccups? This one really works! I was on a trip earlier this year and had the hiccups at lunch. The waitress came by and gave me this tip. Bend over and “shoot” a packet of sugar (or a spoonful). To do this, put the packet in your mouth and then throw your head back so the sugar goes to the back of your throat instead of all in your mouth. Then swallow a mouthful of water. I promise it really does work if you do it correctly! Try it next time you get the hiccups!

I haven’t tried it without the head jerk and water, but I will next time! Thanks for the tip!
My mom would just give me some sugar on a spoon and I would swallow it and they would stop. Same theory but without the head jerk and water.
