Today, the nine year old girl I was babysitting got the hiccups, so I told her to drink some water upside down to cure them. She ended up vomiting on the floor. FML

I have never heard of that trick. Looks like it doesn't work.

My doctor always told us to eat a teaspoon or a packet of sugar. More often than not, it cured or hiccups.

My science teacher taught me a trick to cure hiccups that's very effective. Just plug your nose and drink as much water as you can. I use it whenever I have the hiccups and it works every time.

She should have plugged her ears and sang a note.

Dear god, upside down.....??? Just eat a spoon of peanut butter, does the trick just fine and saves you all that clean up.

Try a shot of vinegar next time

The spoonful of sugar works for me...and also a something hot (soup or tea) works as well...

what works for me everytime is take ten swollows of water in a row without stopping.

What a horrible method. Just drink water for 13 gulps. Works every time.

My mom always said you had to scare someone to cure their hiccups.. So when I got the hiccups as a kid she would hide and jump out and scare me. Not sure if it worked, but I think I did pee my pants once from it.
