When I get the hiccups it’s not a dainty Betty Boop, oopsy-do scenario. It’s deep, heavy, gut-wrenching, mournful, aggressive hiccups that sound like a bullfrog crossed with a blow horn. And they can actually hurt. And sometimes, if I have them for too long, I get nauseous and have to lie down.
They eventually go away (obviously, since I haven’t made it into the Guinness book yet) but imagine my delight when my neighbour Victoria called me just as I suffering through my latest hiccups episode.
“Yeesh,” she said. And then, “I have the cure: Works every time.”
I tried it: It worked! I tried it the next time: Worked again! (If you’re wondering why I get the hiccups so often, it’s because when I’m really thirsty and take a sip of pop, I always get them for a few seconds. It’s been that way ever since I can remember.) By the third time, I was convinced. By the fourth time I was sold. I had friends and family try Victoria’s hiccup cure too: Worked like a charm!
So Victoria was right and I’m making it official: This is the cure to the hiccups and it works every time.
- Get a glass of water
- Take a sip and then say “7” out loud. Take another sip and say “6” out loud.
- Continue counting down until you get to “1”, but by then your hiccups will already be gone.

OK, gonna try that.... When I was in university I actually had to leave a class because I was going on hour two of the three hour class of hiccups and my instructor looked at me in disbelief that One could get the hiccups that bad.
