    I take a really big gulp of water or two and they're gone everytime.

    No like in the C&H there, it doesn't mean stand on your head, it means drink from the far side of the glass leaned way over.

    I think we can agree that both methods would have the same result.

    I love that C&H strip so much

    I just calm my breathing. They're gone soon enough.

    That's the point, it's a prank. The kind only small children and the very gullible fall for.
    It's not a prank. It works for some people.

    That video featured the most horrifying winking smiley I've ever seen. It's burned into my mind.

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned the "scaring them out" method.

    Once, when I was young, I was sitting at the table before dinner and started hiccuping. After the fourth or fifth hiccup my dad grabs hold of my wrist and goes "AAAAAHHHHHH!!" Just shrieks at the top of his lungs.

    I mean, it worked, but Jesus...

    Try and force yourself to hiccup. Go on. Next time you have them, try and push one out.
