1. I just had them!

Do this - get a glass of water - bend over forward (head facing down) and drink it upside down. It works!

2. spoonful of sugar

under the tongue. Let it dissolve. Works like magic. If it doesn't stop the hiccups in 2-3 minutes, try one more. I've never seen it take more than 2 applications.

4. I think the correct dosage is 8 more

If the first one doesn't work, that is.

Pssst, let's see if we can get khephra to bounce off the walls, heh.

7. No sugar?

For this eventuality, in future, next time you're at a restaurant/diner/fast food place, pocket a few packets. A couple of packets of sugar work just as well.

10. What works for me is

Hold your breath while drinking down a large glass of water. If it doesn't work first time,try again right away.
I've never had to do it more than twice and it does the trick.
