It doesn’t really matter what you do, except to take someone’s thoughts away from the hiccoughs, causing the diaphragm to relax because you are not thinking about it. Famous examples include:
- name 10 famous bald men
- tickle your tongue with an external object
- suck upon something sour, like a lemon
- get tickled
- wiggle a finger in your ear, gently
- swallow a small spoon of honey
- poke your tongue out, grab it and give it a few tugs
