To cure hiccups, I sure wouldn’t try swallowing sugar cubes before it completely melts - unless the idea is that you choke so strongly that you forget your hiccup problem and worry about choking instead.
This cure always works for me:Thebird55 is correct-you need to swallow the sugar before it melts. I think the granularness (!) as it goes down turns the trick. Salt might work the same but I’m not going to try that!
I see you get the sugar high and then don’t care if you get rid of the hiccups followed by jumping on furniture and running around yelling like a crazy person followed by sugar crash and deep sleep! That’ll get the job done!
Cube sugar! You must take 3 pieces of cube sugar or candies! And swollow very strongly! Sometimes hiccup is gone after one piece, sometimes it needs 3 pieces!
Good morning to all! Hey Grog! – How did you do that?!
Wow!
I think Hobbes is either the wisest person to have ever walk edthis planet or he’s been reading the comment section here the last couple of days!

Who needs Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs when you have straight sugar? Who needs all that cereal getting in the way of your sugar? Besides, Calvin puts more sugar on his CFS Bombs anyway.
The point is to swallow the sugar. Cereal has nothing to do with the theory, no matter how much sugar is in the cereal.
A spoon full of sugar helps the sugar go down, hopefully taking the hiccups with it.
Calvin knocks off all the sugar in the house, still has the hiccups, and goes around like a launching at Cape Canaveral sounding like a badly tuned lawnmower. I can hardly wait to see his mother’s reaction to that…
I believe I will stay with hot water for hiccups. I don’t get them that much and hot drinks mellows me.
All the comments about cure for hiccups is funny.
There was a girl in one state that had it worse then Calvin on hiccups disrupted her life badly.

Giving Calvin extra sugar is like giving Superman nunchaku. Overkill.

Things are going to get worse before they get better….but then the sugar high may eventually do the trick.

Sugar worked for me. I think the idea is to try to swallow it before it completely melts.

I think C & H Sugar is a Calvin and Hobbes product, isn’t it?

Poindexter, Marg must have been delayed, distracted, what ever. I was surprised, too. The only other time I’ve been first is when Marg’s been sick.

Good Morning Mike Firesmith and Loki.
Watterson does the most wonderful body language and facial expressions. That makes it all so real.
Tanya, I got a laugh from the image of Calvin you painted. Thanks.

Bourbon works way better than sugar for me. Doesn’t do a thing for my hiccups but who cares.
treBsdrawkcaB over 14 years ago
This will work great until Calvin turns 30 when he has no metabolism and type-2 diabetes…
Puddleglum2 over 14 years ago
Bert, Then Calvin will need more medicine, and more sugar to help it go down, and then more medicine… it’s a vicious (viscous) cycle!

I sometimes think about Calvin grown up and married, and with a “chip off the old block”. That would be Karma!

Obviously, Calvin is gonna love this cure :D
Cristijaberjaws over 14 years ago
Sugar works for me great!
Rum and coke also but maybe that’s what gave me the hic ups?!

Maybe chocolate? The booze is for the parents when the sugar hits our boy Calvin.
