Some people swear they have a “sure-fire cure” for the hiccups. Some people will just hold their breath, some will drink water and sometimes in some pretty weird ways to get the job done. Some will eat things to try to get them to go away, stuff like a spoonful of sugar or peanut butter. These old tried and true methods seem to work for some but not all. Well, now scientists say they’ve finally come up with a product that cures the HICCUPS.
It’s an L-shaped straw called the HiccAway that launched on Kickstarter a year ago. And a new study found it works 92% of the time.
Two holes at the bottom of the straw create a small amount of pressure when you drink water through it. And that pressure repositions your diaphragm just enough to stop hiccups immediately. You can get one on Amazon for $15.
