How to cure the hiccups

August 15, 2012 by Kellie

Okay you lucky ducks…I’m telling you an ancient family secret.
Not really ancient.  But I think this cure has been in our family for 5 generations now.  Let me tell you something, it WORKS for our entire family.  Always.
What you’ll need.
Of course have the hiccups & then proceed with the following:
a glass
half full to full of water
a paper towel (has to be a paper towel)

Fold your paper towel in half & then fold over your glass.
Drink your entire water through your paper towel.
And it will work like a charm!  I am serious.  See, aren’t you glad you follow me.  I tell ya, I’m a wealth of practical information.  😉

I’m social as can be!  Are you?  Follow along if you like.

    A spoonful of peanut butter is what we use around here. Works like a charm, and hey…PEANUT BUTTER.

    But we will definitely try this – especially if there’s no peanut butter. 🙂

    Peanut Butter works for me as well. But I’ll give this a try.

    always works for me. Always. But usually I would get my sister to hold the glass because it’s actually quite difficult to do by yourself. of course, I always return the favor for her. Now that we’re thousands of miles apart, hiccups are harder to cure. But that’s the least sucky thing about being that far away. wellness and sex

    REALLY?! Working upside-down always works for me, but never my husband. I’ll tell him to try this one instead. 😉
