Our bodies are truly amazing, finely optimized organisms that often seem to function like well-oiled machines. That's until you swallow a little air, and suddenly you're plagued with hiccups that won’t seem to get away. Unfortunately, the cures for hiccups are also often unpleasant or cumbersome. Some swear by drinking water upside down, whereas others will jump out at you from around a corner, hoping to startle the hiccups out of you.
Try Coke if you're suffering from hiccups that seemingly won’t go away. Apparently, all you need to do is take a mouthful of soda to gargle with. You can also try drinking Coke through a straw or from the wrong side of the glass.
