Onions!

Ever tried the eye-watering onions to stop the non-stop hic-cup?

No? Then you should..

Since I was a kid.. My parents discovered that I am a victim to these intensely painful quacking..

You know what's more amazing? I start a fit of hiccups if I am laughing too hard- think of it in the middle of a class joke!

I tried gulping down bottles of water, holding my breath for two, three, four minutes.. Didn't help.

My mother , one day found this magazine with the cure for hiccup in it. It said "Chew a piece of onion. You will feel at ease within minutes.."

Well. I tried it the next time and okay.. I got the results. The hiccups stopped!
