My partner suggested this to me once and I thought, “nothing to lose” so I gave it a go.

Correlation does not imply causation, so I can’t guarantee that the sugar is doing anything at all, but every time except once I’ve had a teaspoon of sugar with hiccups, they have stopped.

To that end, I’ll be doing it as long as it keeps on seeming to have an effect.

This is actually what I was taught as a kid as well, somewhere around age 7. For me it only works around half the time though.

I figured I'd try something random when that didn't work. Honestly I hate mustard, but it does seem to help get rid of hiccups sometimes.
