So I was curious to know what all of your hiccup cures were? I heard a lot from the classics of holding your breath or having somone scare you ( the scaring method was a lot of fun got me) but none of it worked. So this year people tried a different method which is holding your breath for a couple of seconds then drawing in more breath and holding it for about 15 seconds,,, and just repeat the proces until your hiccups go away

I don't know about scaring people to cure there hicups. I have heard about it, of course, but i don't know if it really works but holding ur breath is certainly the most effective cure for hicups. I know it because i myself have cured my hicup by holding my breath but for 10 seconds only. I hear that it should be countdown and i always count form 10 ,9,8......But i think count up would be equally effective. The idea is not just to hold ur breath but, first, u need to feel ur lungs full. Then hold and count down. I am sure it will work.

whenever hiccups arise, i just bend over and drink water upside down, i place the glass of water on the ground and use a straw to drink it :) it's really effective ll

try holding your breath for 10 secs. or you can try putting a paper bag over you head and breath in and out heavily. those and one other, have somebody sneak up behind you and scare the $hit out of you. those, are the only ones that i can think of at the moment.
