If you eat too fast, you can swallow air along with your food and end up with a case of the hiccups.
Any other practices that might irritate the diaphragm such as eating too much (especially fatty foods) or drinking too much (drunk people hiccup) can make you prone to having hiccups.
In these instances, your stomach, which sits on top of the diaphragm, is distended or stretched. Because they occur in relation to eating and drinking, hiccups are sometimes thought to be a reflex to protect you from choking.

You have a set pattern that you breathe in... and basically you start breathing wrong... so your body forces hick up's to get air into your lungs.
If it happens again..... take a spoonfull of sugar, I PROMISE you they will go away right then and there.
I'd even bet money, but this is the internet. But it's worked for me, and everyone i've had do it, so use that sugar!

It's a spasm of the diaphragm.
