This method to stop hiccupping works EVERY TIME
It sounds a little odd, but it really does work.

press one thumb against each nostril, so you cannot breath out of your nose. Then put a free finger in each ear. Now close your mouth and try to breath out as much as you can (you will look like pob at this point). Do this until you cannot carry on (about 20 seconds) and your hiccups will have stopped.

I mocked the friend who told me this, but she was absolutely right; stupid as it sounds, it does actually work. Any doctors / psychologists etc out there care to explain this? PS I nearly choked to death on a poppodum at lunchtime today
