Folklore tells us that hiccups happen when someone is thinking about you. The remedy is to list your friends (and perhaps your enemies)! Once you have identified the person responsible, the hiccups will go away. My mom always told me that I got the hiccups because I did something bad. Yes, in hindsight she may have just been teasing me. But she also explained that she could make them stop by using pressure points.</p> Fri, 09 Sep 2022 10:00:00 +0000 Cat Wang, B.Sc. 9228 at /oss
