Driving in the car the other day, Zack started having one of his famous sneezing fits. It’s actually really crazy and also something that happens on the regular: he sneezes like 10 times in a row. I’m not even kidding. He cannot just sneeze once. It’s always like 10. And for some reason, I get really irritated about it. Like, somehow, it’s his fault that he sneezes so much and he should really stop bugging me, because I mean, it’s just so annoying. And then I check myself and realise how cruel it is to be annoyed about this. My poor husband. Anyway, so during this drive, Zack said to me, “You know, I haven’t figured out how to stop myself from sneezing, but I have conquered the hiccups. I haven’t had the hiccups more than once in my life!” And then he was like, “Oh this is good stuff. You should totally blog about this.” True story. So I figured, since you all like him so much, that Zack should make a little debut on here and tell you his tricks to never have the hiccups again. No drinking water upside down with your nose plugged needed.
1. Take a quick deep breath in of about 40% of your lung capacity. (Note: All of the breaths that you take in should be as fast as possible and you should not breathe out until the last step).
2. Pause, holding said breath, for approximately 2 seconds.
3. Every second after that, breathe in quick, short breaths of about 10% of your lung capacity.
4. Do this four times.
5. Take a quick deep breath of the remaining 20% (or however much you can) of air left and hold it for at least 10 seconds.
6. Your hiccups will be gone!
You guys, as silly as this seems, it actually works for him! I have literally never seen Zack have the hiccups. Now, I’ve tried it myself, and wasn’t really so lucky, but hey. If it works for you, then more power to you.What methods do you use to rid yourself of the hiccups? Any of them work? Also, wasn’t this the most ridiculous post in the history of ever? Yeah, it’s Saturday. Gimme a break.xo

Haha let me know if it works for you!! Zack will be proud ;)
xo
I get the hiccups all the time, I will have to try this. My husbands solution is always to try and scare me haha. He just ends up getting punched.
Hahaha omg you made me laugh so hard. Yes, I think I would punch Zack if he tried scaring me all the time, too! ;)
xo
growing up, i remember my dad having those sneezing fits!
my method for hiccups is usually a spoon full of peanut butter. it’s yummy and always seems to work :)
Ugh, aren’t they just the most annoying thing?! Haha Hmmmm I do love pb, I’ll have to try that!
xo
I have been known to plug my nose and chug water when this happens – but only when I’m desperate :P xxx
Hahaha that’s a good trick.
xo
I always take a deep breath, and while not letting it out, I quickly take a drink of water, and swallow! They are instantly gone. Every time!
GENIUS! I’m trying that next time!!
xo
Hahaha, I loved this post :D You two are too funny! My brother seems to think that if you drink a glass of water while having someone pull your ears down, it will cure the hiccups :) I think he just has his timing down really well :P
Blessings! <3
Thanks, glad it wasn’t too silly of a post. ;) The ear pulling thing is absolutely so ridiculous, it might actually work haha!
xo
spoon full of sugar cures me :)
It also helps the medicine go down! ;) .. I had to.
xo
Grape soda but just encase I don’t have any on me I’ll do this instead
Interesting! That’s a new one. I might try it.
xo
No this totally isn’t a ridiculous post at all! Seriously, nothing’s worse than getting the hiccups so I’m definitely going to have to try this!

xo
This is too good. I love that he said you should blog about it!

I have a cure that has NEVER failed. Seriously. The husband was a bartender for awhile so that’s what we use.
Needs:
Lemon Wedge
Hot Sauce
Sugar
Directions: Place several drops of hot sauce on lemon then sprinkle sugar. Eat the lemon. YUCK yes, but it works.
OMG I am so trying this next time!! Sounds so gross, but hey. If it works!
