Hiccup Reliever
You can't even find a remedy for hiccups in the drugstore, but you can make one yourself.
Ingredients: 2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon sugar or dry drink mix (Cocoa or Ovaltine)
Swallow the dry sugar or drink mix, which isn't easy. Trying to get it down will short-circuit the hiccups.
Just a spoonfull of sugar.... :)
