Real or alleged Hiccup Cures

Thumping Chest while counting to Ten in a foreign Language
Ten Sips from a Tea Cup
Drink from a cup while upside down (preferably without drowning yourself!)
Having someone pop a paper bag behind you (or otherwise scare you) when you’re not expecting it.
A spoonful of sugar helps the hiccups stop dead.
Take a deep breath and hold it as long as possible. Plugging nose is optional. Works everytime!
Stand on your head and say “Garbo” backwards (according to James Thurber.)
Drink a cup of water while holding your nostrils tightly shut, while a friend does the same with your ears.
Rapidly breathing in and out of a paper bag.
