++ This requires another person who is participating. Say to the other person, "Okay. I'm going to tell you the next time I have to hiccup." Now, you must plan on doing this. Should you feel like having a hiccup, say something. Chances are, though, you won't feel the need to say anything. You concentrate on the other person and your hiccups, then a minute later, they're gone.

++ Swallow when you feel a hiccup coming.

++ Hold your breath and press your earlobes against your eardrums. Keep holding your breath for 30 to 45 seconds. You look like a moron, but it works for some. Hold your breath and don't think about your hiccups.

++ A teaspoon of white vinegar will cure hiccups sometimes.

++ Put a spoonful of sugar on the roof of your mouth.

++ Drink a glass of water upside-down, if you really think it'll work.

++ Play a really scary game. Games with zombies help.

++ The cure is peanut butter.
