Eat half a lemon, or squeeze it and drink the juice.

Hold your breath for as long as u can several times.

Have someone scare you.

this seems to be my only real method - trying to create an inner vacuum by sucking while holding breath, but it almost seems to make me pass out from holding my breath, but it's the only that's ever worked

I farkken hate hiccups

Do this:

-Stand up and put you arms above your head reaching towards the ceiling.
-Stretch as far as you can WITHOUT going on to your tip toes.
-Take a huge SLOW breath while reaching up (still not on your tip toes)
-Let that breath out VERY SLOWLY and you hiccups will disappear.
-You have just stretched your diaphragm and released the air trapped inside.

Hold your breath and count slowly to ten.

one thousand one
one thousand two

etc.

If you hiccup before you reach 10 start over without releasing your breath.

Keep trying this until you reach ten. This works for me 99% of the time.

Take a mouthful of water, bend over like you're touching your toes, swallow the water, wait a few seconds, stand up. Works for me everytime.

lemon or lime covered in bitters and hot sauce and suck the whole lemon down....

or some people say take a spoonful of honey and lay down on the floor on your stomach with an upside down dinner plate right at the bottom of your ribcage.

ive had hiccups like no other before, went to bed with them, couple hours later woke up and still had them. Holding my breath has been one of the only things that i have gotten to work, but that doesn't work all the time. All that other stuff thats out there absolutely does not work for me. I can only hope each time the holding my breath works.

I was told to eat peanut butter. I guess the way that you swallow peanut butter it causes your hiccups to go away.

Worked a couple times..

It's hard to smoke a bowl with the hiccups.

Put your both fingers in your ears and have someone hold a glass of water for you to drink from. The pressure will stop them totally after about three gulps.

I was waiting for the hiccup and then I'd puff real quick and try to hold it in.

I figured I was holding my breath for both reasons.. Didn't work so I still needed peanut butter.

"Hey man, after this hit can you go grab me some peanut butter?" :lol:
