*Hic*... *Hic*...



My grandmother taught me a very simple cure for hiccups. I thought it was common knowledge, but the existence of a product called Hiccups Away at $3 a pop makes me think that it's not. I'm also not a fan of the "scare" technique, which doesn't seem too effective.

So, here's what you do. Pour half a small glass of cold water. Add about 2 teaspoons of sugar--enough so it's distinctly sweet but not sickeningly so. Drink the sugar water slowly. See? Hiccups gone. Works every time for me.

You could market that sugar water and retire in Tahiti next year. It works!
