A chemistry proffessor told me this and it works!!
You take a glass of water and put a straw on each side, you drink from one straw as much of the water as you can and while you do that Im not sure what it is exactly but something is released from the other straw.

Take an airtight bag...

hold in one hand, open the neck of the bag with a finger of the other hand, then blow all the air from a deep breath into the bag keeping your lips round, suck the air back into your lungs, then refill the bag as if hyperventilating.

The hiccups are caused (if memory serves) by an imbalance in the CO2-O2 balance of the air in the lungs.

Re-breathing the same air resets the balance and the hiccups are cured.

the hiccups are caused by your diaphragm (muscle under lungs) being screwed up. The only thing that works for me is holding my breath, looking up, and stretching. Peanut butter and other thick stuff usually gives me the hiccups.

Hiccups

My mom swears that drinking pickle juice works. Everyone i know who has tried it says it works. I HATE pickles, so i'll settle for holding my breath. Usually works.
