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?

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.

Swallow a pinch of salt. Don’t let it dissolve on your tongue; just swallow.

Take a glass of water, bend over forward, drink from the opposite side of the glass while your head is upside down. Drink the whole thing. Cured!

Just quickly drinking a full glass of water usually does the trick

I used to do this with a straw while head was upside down. Worked really well when I was younger but haven’t tried it recently.

I do the thing where you drink water while rubbing your tongue on the roof of your mouth. Success rate is pretty low tbh.

This is it, although I just put the water in my mouth and bend over then swallow. Swallowing water while upside down = 100% cure.

In the order I try them, usually the first one works for me:

Hold my breath, cold shower, go for a run.

I hold my breath and “push” the air blocking my lungs from emptying with my mouth/throat.

Chug down a big glass of water on a single breath.
