How to make hiccups go away!?

Question

DID YOU KNOW.. that thinking of a pineapple makes your hiccups go away straight away. its true. it works with everyone ive told. does anyone know why?

Answer 1

That's very strange and i've never heard of that before but the next time i get hiccups i'm going to try that =) and i cant think of why it helps.

Answer 2

Must just be the surprise of being told to think of a pineapple.  Surprises are supposed to stop hiccups.  A really effective method is to tell someone you will pay them if they can hiccup again.  Someone said that to me and I was actually disappointed when it immediately stopped :).

Answer 3

What the real cure for hiccups?

Take a very deep breath. Fill your lungs all the way up and hold it. Then push out your belly like it is a beer belly then tighten all of the ab muscles while still holding your breath and pushing out your tummy and try to do a crunch. Hold for 5 seconds and slowly blow the air out and straighten up. I am not kidding. It always works for every one I have taught...

Your diaphragm causes hiccups. By doing this, it is like hitting a reset button on your diaphragm and your hiccups are gone. Even the painful huge ones go away.

Be careful because eating a big meal puts pressure on the diaphragm and can cause those pesky hiccups.  

Answer 4

that is just stupid, that doesn't work.  

Answer 5

Death cures all illnesses.

Answer 6

sometimes if someone scares you the hiccups can go away and they say to hold a paper bag over your head too.

Answer 7

Pineapples have nothing to do with your diaphragm- that's stupid. Maybe it's a placebo?

The best way I've found to get rid of my hiccups is to bend down and touch my toes for a minute. Works for me!

Answer 8

No it doesn't, I've had the hiccups every day for three years and I've thought of pineapple plenty of times. Still hiccuping!

Answer 9
