Simple Solutions: Hiccups

Photo by Estela Shaddix

Just follow these simple instructions and your hiccups will disappear.

Items you are going to need:
- creamy peanut butter
- honey
- large spoon(s) of your choice

This may sound, feel, look, and be a little crazy at first. Let the process make a believer out of you. Here we go.

First count out loud from 1 to 14
Then from 1 to 13
Then from 1 to 12
Then from 1 to 7
Then from 20 to 1

You will still be experiencing symptoms at this time.

Put the spoon in your mouth and think to yourself, “This is the stupidest thing I have ever done to get rid of the hiccups.”

Take the spoon out of your mouth and dip it in the peanut butter. You can switch spoons at this point if you want but it has to be the same size spoon. Gather up a heaping spoonful of peanut butter. Put the full spoon in your mouth and remove the peanut butter from the spoon. Remove the spoon from your mouth.

Breathe deeply through your nose and exhale.
