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.... :)
