Hiccups were INSTANTLY cured

• I was skeptical about taking a deep breath and slowly say the word "PURPLE" when breathing out, but oh my goodness, my hiccups were INSTANTLY cured. As dumb as it sounds, it really works!! At least for me it does.... You try...
  
  
• To relieve someone other than yourself of hiccups ask them what their favorite ice cream is. Works really well. I have stopped many a "hiccuper" in the grocery store with it and also the 2-12 graders I substitute teach for.
