Well, all these remedies to " cure " hiccup seem to have this one thing in

common: they distract. The sugar in your mouth will certainly take your mind

off, at least long enough from the impending hiccup until it (the hiccup)

dissolves itself. Here is the remedy for hiccup I grew up with: Offer the

hiccuper (?) ten thousand dollars if she/he hiccups one more time. It has

never failed me in the past and I never had to pay. Use smaller amounts if

you are unsure at first...:-)))))
