Strange cure for hiccups?!

Hello World Wide Web!

One day in late 2024 I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts. One of the hosts started talking about that he had heard somewhere else (I can't remember where) that someone had a cure for hiccups where as soon as the hiccups start you have to say "I'm not a fish!" out loud and they stop. So the host tried it and he was shocked that it worked.

I've been dealing with hiccups quite often and sometimes they take many minutes to go away and it's been super annoying. So I thought I would try it out next time I got them.

WELL. It works.

It's so crazy. For more than half a year now, every time I get a singular hiccup I immediately say "I'm not a fish!" and they just stop. Immediately. It seems to be a magic spell! It's so strange but it works for me too. Although I wonder if it's literally just saying something out loud that cures them.

If anyone reads this, feel free to try this out and see if your hiccups go away! Maybe comment your findings?
