During my 33 years in this crazy world, I've heard about literally thousands of "cures" for the hiccups. It's one of those things that most everyone has a "cure" for. I'm sure that most of ya'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
When talking about getting rid of hiccups, I'm sure most of you have heard...
"put a teaspoon of sugar under your tongue"
"hold your breath"
"get the shit scared out of you"
"breathe in a paper sack for 10 minutes"
"blah, blah, friggin' blah"
Somehow, after following the instructions from the person giving you your "cure", the very next sound was that of you getting another hiccup.
Well, here's my story (read my post above to understand why I'm going thru all of this)....
One day, when I was about 12 years old, I got a case of the hiccups. I remember the guy that my mother was dating at the time telling me that he could "cure" my hiccups. At the age of 12, I remember thinking "whatever dude, I've tried all the 'cures' and not a single one of them have worked". But when you have the hiccups, you'll try almost anything to get rid of them right???
This guy showed me a 100% effective, works EVERY time cure for hiccups. It worked the FIRST time he showed me and EVERY SINGLE TIME I've had the hiccups for the past 21 years! Not only has it worked for me, but it has been 100% effective for EACH AND EVERY SINGLE PERSON that I've ever showed the "cure" to!!
This may sound a little awkward, but believe me, it's no BS! Try it the next time you have the hiccups and I will personally GUARANTEE that it will "cure" your hiccups....
1) Fill up a glass of water
2) Instead of putting the glass to you mouth and drinking the water as "normal", take about 7 or 8 gulps of water from the OPPOSITE side of the glass!
(it's a little awkward, but basically, you put your mouth on the opposite side of the glass, put the base of the glass up against your chest, and then bend forward at the waist as you drink). Get the picture?
***IMPORTANT!!! You MUST take 7 or 8 gulps of water without stopping for this to be effective!
Twenty one years, it's worked EVERY SINGLE TIME! Not only for me personally, but for EVERY person who's tried it. Immediately, 100% effective!!!!!
Sounds crazy, sounds simple, but there's your "cure". Try it the next time you get the hiccups!
