I’ve tried many things before, but in the past couple days I’ve found that eating a packet or two of mustard tends to get rid of hiccups.

What sort of tricks do you folks have?

    This will sound like a joke, but is 100% true.

    The most effective, clinically proven, method to cure hiccups is anal digital stimulation. Finger your butthole. You don’t have to go deep, unless you want to, just tease the opening though. You can have someone tongue punch your fart box as well because the method of stimulation doesn’t matter and I am sure the research ran out of funding before testing alternative methods of stimulation.

    Edit: Might as well include a NIH article on the matter.

    There’s an evil part of me, a deep, dark, deranged demon inside me, that hopes the mustard packets keep working, but that it takes more and more each time.

    It’s all placebo. Whatever you truly believe will cure them cures them. Once you figure this out you can just sort of meditate them away.
