I find that eating a teaspoon of granulated sugar followed by a cup of warm water works for me

Bad news....the sugar is gone...I totally forgot I needed sugar after making cookies. Oh man, this is bad.
Aww! Too bad about the sugar, a spoonfull always does it for me too! K, let me ask you a questions, how long would it take you to to ride a canoe from florida to haiwaii, if you take along 2 cats?

A very long long time. Kitties hate water, Well I suppose that would make it a very very short time, because I'd want to get there faster
Hiccups still there?

When I used to smoke, I used to find that having a cigarette would calm the hiccups. However, I don't recommend taking up smoking.

I know you are all set, but I usually try to just ignore them if the sugar, warm water, and breathing in a paper bag doesn't work! I love giving my 2 cents!
You might try these things:
-having a hot liquid, like hot chocolate, or coffee or tea if you like either of them. If you do have something to drink, don't have too much.
-this may sound odd, but it sometimes works for me. Fill a cup with cool water, put a butterknife in the cup, with the point in the water, and drink the water holding the handle of the butterknife between your eyes, but a little below--you know, that sinus-area, kinda...
-whatever you do, don't have anything carbonated to drink, like soda! That will only contribute to the problem.
-if this keeps going on, you might try calling you doctor, and see what they recommend there, or go to the store and get some kind of medicine to help.
Hope those hiccups go away SOON! Gosh, how annoying...hiccups for 2 hours!! Must hurt a lot, too. Do hope you feel better soon.

Teaspoon of sugar. It works like a charm - amazingly. I've never seen anything work so fast....it's actually quite bizarre!!

Im definatly going to try that though, because next time, I cant ask myself a wierd question....lol...
Thanks so so much...you guys ROCK
I have done this all my life, works everytime.
Take a glass of water.. put a butter knife in it and when you drink place the butter knife against your forehead.. and just drink normally.. Somehow it works.
