Oooh! I have a hiccup technique that’s been so effective, that I’ve had at least four different people call me up out of nowhere and ask what it was because they couldn’t get rid of their hiccups.
Immediately after a hiccup say the following in it’s entirety before your next hiccup:
“Hiccups are defined as a spasm of the diaphragm. A spasm is a random tensing of a muscle. If spasms are random, they cannot occur in a pattern. Therefore these hiccups do not exist.”
I’m pretty sure it works because you are focusing your attention on saying the phrases quickly, and causing irregular breathing. But it’s a lot more fun to tell people that they go away when you stop believing in them.
Disclaimer: For whatever reasons, this trick does not work for drunken hiccups. If anybody knows what the difference is, I’d love to know, because I’ve always thought it was strange that it never works when someone has been drinking.
I can stop hiccuping

I’m curious what your technique is.
I breath a little slower using the diaphragm.
I just posted mine under another comment. Probably a similar method as yours, but with more showmanship! 😂
Not OP but 7 small sips of water does it for me. It’s extra helpful because my hiccups hurt.
I call mine disbelieving the hiccups.

That is a very interesting idea, I’ll have to try that out haha
