how do i get rid of hiccups?

I've have had someone scare me and I got rid of the hiccups. But you have to really get scared, like not know that they are going to scare you. I tried bending over and drinking water while doing this and I got rid of them. It's very hard to do though.

I have heard that eating a table spoon of peanut butter helps stopping hiccups.What I do is plug my ears and nose and swallow 20 times as fast as possible.

Repeated swallowing works for mild cases. Do this by holding your breath and repeatedly swallowing as fast as you can, or by slowly drinking down a beverage with as many swallows as is possible. It’s important that you hold your breath for as many gulps as you can. Placing a napkin over a glass of water canl help moderate your speed. Plug your nose and ears then swallow 20 times as fast as possible. If you notice a friend has a case of hiccups, it is believed that your can ’scare’ them away. Sneak up on them and give ‘em a good jolt (Be careful though ). What? They don’t have hiccups? Do it anyway! Relax, sit still and breathe in deep, slow, rhythmic breaths expanding and contracting your lungs completely. Distract yourself. Sing a song, go over your 7 times tables (7 x 1= 7, 7 x 2= 14, etc) until the hiccups are gone, Exhale completely and hold your breath for as long as possible. Squawk like a chicken while flapping your arms and bobbing your head as if you were pecking at something. Bugawk! Laugh. Think of something funny, or do something funny - see above. Eat a tablespoon of peanut butter. Stand on your head and drink small gulps of water from a sports bottle. Exaggerate your hiccups by inhaling right as you hiccup - this will result in a long and loud “huuuaaagggghhh” that’ll either be funny or embarrassing depending on your environment, but after 2-4 of these the hiccups should be gone. Take a shot of lemon juice. Let a teaspoon of sugar dissolve under your tongue. Think of the ugliest person you’ve ever seen. Now picture them naked, rolling naked down a hill or riding a bike and slathered in A-1 steak sauce. Eat some pickles. Think the alphabet backwards as fast as you can. Close your eyes, relax, still your mind and concentrate on nothingness until they’re gone.

holding your breath works for me.
