There are few things in life upon which we universally agree, but I’m positive that nobody enjoys having the hiccups. I mean, there are varying degrees of tolerance. Some people are far more dramatic about the hiccup than others, but if someone were to ask, “Would you like hiccups or no?”…the answer is absolutely, unequivocally, “NO!”
There are a countless remedies that have been passed down through the ages – holding one’s breath, a spoonful of peanut butter, drinking a glass of water, breathing through a paper bag, vinegar, lemon juice, repositioning one’s body, etc. You name it, it’s probably been tried, and it’s likely been advanced (by your friend) as a guarantee, but check it here: there actually is a way to eliminate hiccups with almost near statistical certainty, and it’s verified. According to a study, it’s 92% effective! It’s as close to a medical cure as one will find. It’s called the HiccAway, and it is blowing the mind of this neuroscientist (WARNING: small amount of NSFW language):
@kareemclarkphd Apparently we cured hiccups. Is there a cure for brain freeze i don’t know about?? #hiccups #didyouknow #funfacts #lifehack #sciencefacts ♬ original sound - Kareem Clark, PhD
So, how much would you pay for a cure to hiccups, for the HiccAway? How does $16.95 sound? Sounds good to me!
