Finally, a cure for hiccups?

I've had the hiccups for about half an hour, and I think I cured it although it could have been coincidence that it stopped at the right time. I held my breath, pinched my nose, and swallowed. I did it a few times. My hiccups stopped! Can someone try to see if it works(since it'll be ages until I get hiccups again)?

Lol, I used to swallow sugar and it seemed to work at times but this new cure I've found worked so fast I was amazed.

oh...sugar works??? i have never tried that!!! anyway... i think your idea is really good... since you dont need anything such as sugar or water, just pinch your nose, so i guess it is really convienent!!!

It is definitely a pain to have hiccups, especially during important moments such as presentation or doing an activity. My method is similarto yours, except that i drink many mouths of small amount of water and keep swallowing before letting out air.
