    Get some peanut butter and put it on the roof of your mouth. It works! One of my teacher's had a jar of it in the cupboard always handy for anyone who had hiccups.

    Unlike sneezing, farting, burping, etc., hiccups don't serve any purpose. Hiccups are just annoying and pointless. How do you get rid of hiccups? Which remedy works best? Home remedies are usually based on the idea that you have to disrupt the hiccup cycle. Remedies include holding your breath, breathing into a bag, pulling your tongue, sudden fright, or - get this - eating sugar. Just drinking water, if done soon enough, might wash down a chunk of food in the throat that's pressing against a nerve.

    The best remedy that my family has found is 1/2 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar then you can take a sip of water to wash it down. It works everytime for us.

    I have found the best cure to be to exhale and hold your breath for 30 seconds (plug your nose if u have to) then exhale and take 3 deep breaths and waalaa they should be gone!
