9. Something Sweet: Sugar
If you have neither peanut butter nor honey, sugar is another quick and sweet trick you could use to get rid of your hiccups. The grainy texture of the sugar is believed to help irritate the esophagus and stimulate the vagus nerve. The New England Journal of Medicine has reported that this could interfere with the hiccup reflex. To use this technique, just take a teaspoonful of granulated sugar in your mouth. Let it absorb just a little bit before swallowing. This is one of the most commonly used remedies for hiccups.
