Hiccup Cures

I have heard of many hiccup cures...swallowing sugar, scaring the victim, drinking from the far side of the cup and so on. None of them seem to work. I have to confess that drinking from the far side of the cup did work once. The victim, the cure guru and all spectators were sufficiently inundated with various forms of alcohol, so I am not too sure of what worked. Maybe most of the suggested solutions are suggested under varying degrees of alcoholic influence (that's when we hiccup the most anyway), so one is never sure what is happening.

In any case, someone seems to have invented a "hic-cup", or in plain english, a contraption for curing hiccups. Credit for the picture goes to the site to which the picture itself is a link.

Cheers!!!
