The Best Way to Get Rid of Your Hiccups

Hiccups. No one likes them, and they can be super-pesky. Not exactly the kind of thing you want to get when you're talking to your boss or on a first date. But, how do you get them to go away? Well, you could try holding your breath (doesn't usually work), or swallowing a bit of sugar (tastes good, but not really effective),  or even cream of tartar on an empty stomach (eww, I know. Wouldn't recommend it). But the best way I know of to lose your hiccups? Pull your tongue! Sound weird, looks weird, but works. Stick your tongue out as far as it will go, and them pull on it with both hands for 20 seconds. This helps to break up the rhythm of your hiccups and releases air. Just a tip though, don't try this at the dinner table:)
