NewtC Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 We all have our little way of getting rid of hiccups, but do any know the best way? Bob, please explain. ( I have recently afflicted Newt with hiccups, so he will try out each solution himself. ) There you have it. NewtC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo man Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Hmmmmmm..........I always started chugging a large glass of water whenever I felt a hiccup coming on. WARNING!!!!!!!! Don't try this around anything electrical, you might end-up spitting all over it(happened to me before :wallbash: ). P.S. As a side note, wouldn't this topic be more at home in the "Off topic" section of the forums??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewtC Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 Good point. I'll ask someone to have it moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonlissla Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 The best way for me is to hold my breath for 12-15 seconds. It works like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeniorn Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Ditto. Although it is sometimes required to repeat the process one more time holding breath for a little longer. Heh, but don't hold it for too long. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecalMirror Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 The best way for me is to hold my breath for 12-15 seconds. It works like a charm.Yeah, lungs full of air and holding breath. Try that few times in a row and it's guaranteed that you'll get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewtC Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 Seems to work for me. Thanks. ( I'm starting to turn blue ) That's because you don't have hiccups Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesto Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Newt... if it was Bob who had the hiccups, you could try doubling or even quadrupling the parenthesiseses...es. As it is, I think Bob gets far too much air. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Wolfe Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Get a glass of water. Then find some pure magnesium (because I'm sure you have some of that laying around) Drop the magnesium in the glass of water. The magnesium will react violently with the water, and the following chemical reaction will occur:H2O + Mg = H2 + MgOThe magnesium will light up like a fallen star, and if he didn't take grade 9 chemistry, it'll scare the crap out of him, as well as the hiccups! I guarantee it'll cure the hiccups. If you don't have any magnesium, try pure potassium, it works even better....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewtC Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 I read that! I might try it on Bob though. Anyway, wouldn't cesium or fancium work better still? :devil: And Chesto, your right, he does get to much air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
