There are many things said to cure hiccups. Here are some of them:
- you hiccup when someone is talking about you so just try to guess who that someone is and hiccups will stop
- put some suggar under your tongue and drink water in small sips
- hold your breath for 30 seconds
- get someone to scare you
But the most usefull thing to do and the one that always works for me is getting in bed or under a cover or near a source of warmth! Hiccups appear when your body needs to warm up!

Hiccups are spasms of the diaphragm, which is the muscular wall that controls your breathing. The best trick for getting rid of hiccups, in my experience, is to exhale completley, and then simply concentrate on relaxing your middle as much as possible. Your body will tell you when you need to take the next breath. This is easier if you sing and have learned to be aware of your breathing, but I think most people can do it with practice. Also, if you're getting hiccups frequently, you may be a bit stressed about something; take a look at what's going on around you, see if there's something that's causing you to tense up on a regular basis, and try to do something about it. Good luck!

The most scientific way of getting rid of hiccups is to try and breath in when u feel one coming, as this will make ur lungs expand and will help put the diaphram back into its natural pattern. Hiccups are the result of the diapram hitting the bottom on the lugs when it gets outta sink with the lungs so by breathing in when u feel one coming you are helping it to stop hitting the bottom of the lungs and focing air out (and this is a hiccup) i hope that helps. It works for me without fail so good luck!

getting scared shocked so much that you actully forget to hiccup is one of the remedy.
There is a joke even, a man goes to a pharmacy and asks for some medicine for hiccups, the pharmacists slaps him hard. The man shocked, shouts at him what the ****, the pharmacist says, see, the h iccups have gone!
The man then says its my wife over there in the car who has hiccups.. Ooops !

Drink a glass of warm water. A coke, pepsi, or glass of alka-seltzer.

The only thing I have found that works is to chew a spoonful of sugar. Not swallow it..chew it until it is all gone.
