    This legit has been how I've dealt with hiccups since this first aired. I think it has only failed maybe once. Which over the course of several years is quite the feat.

    This is a game changer. Works every damn time. Arin is not just the video game boy, he's the hiccup prevention boy too.

  • @RedheadButNotReally
    @RedheadButNotReally 2 роки тому +255

    It _has_ to be the fact that you're trying to do it as lightly as possible. It gets your brain to think about that specific task and _not_ how irritated your diaphragm is at the moment. That's my theory anyway.

    • @Buphido
      @Buphido 2 роки тому +24

      I think it's also connected to you having to breathe softly in order to stop your head from bobbing. Since holding your breath sometimes works as well, this makes sense to me.

      I don't think so. I was doing this the exact same, but with different fingers, and it was not until I used my pinkies that it worked. It only ever works for me when I use my pinkies. I have no idea why this is.

    • @foomp
      @foomp 5 місяців тому +1

      @@J--Dubs It's related to a couple types of nerves that around the eyes and other parts of your body. Stimulating the nerve helps stop the hiccups. Your mouth and ears also house the nerve, so there are methods involving those areas to stop hiccups, but we all know the eye one works at the very least.

  • @magicaleevee843
    @magicaleevee843 2 роки тому +63

    My recipe against hiccups is that:
    Ask the person what their last meal was.
    Then, what was the meal before that.
    Then, what before that.
    So on and so forth for a few minutes.
    It only failed once as far as I can remember and I'm using this strategy for years at this point.
    But it's nice to have a new trick up my sleeve now!

    I was with my brother in law and we were both drunk and he was hiccuping for 30 minutes straight, kept trying to get him to do it and he’d be like; “nah man” “shit don’t work like that man”, finally caved. Works every time. Mind blown.

    I wish I had known about this like...I think it was about 10 years ago. I legit had hiccups for about 4 days straight. It would wake me up at night. My chest was killing me. I had to get some medication, and it wasn't even a cure for hiccups, it was for something else that just happened to soothe my system.

      ever since I developed what I think is a hiatal hernia, hiccups fucking HURT. so I had to learn how to just.. stop. just like i had to learn to stop sneezing because it set off my allergies. This would have been really useful to know back then, I had to just hold my breath and press all the internal voluntary muscles really hard

  • @RoarTheRapper
    @RoarTheRapper 2 роки тому +1

    I tried this once, but I hiccup so violently and then tried to move my fingers to compensate I poked both my eyes hard. So then I was stuck laughing at the stupidity of the predicament while hiccuping, but that actually reset my diaphragm.

  • @ElseeKay
    @ElseeKay Рік тому +1

    so the thing about hiccups is it's caused by having too much oxygen, usually happens because you gasp from being surprised or sucking in air while eating spicy food etc.
    so all the tricks, like holding your breath or drinking water, solve it by trying to make you use up oxygen for a moment.
    touching your eyelids very carefully works by making you unconsciously slow down your breathing.

    I went over a year without hiccups and when I got them again today, I remembered there was something with putting fingers lightly over the eyes discussed in Game Grumps, but it just didn't work. Then I looked up this video to see if I was doing it right and I wasn't. I WAS pressing as lightly as possible over my closed eyelids, but I was using my index and middle fingers. After watching this video, I switched to using my pinkies and the effect was IMMEDIATE! My diaphragm feels sore as hell since I was just dealing with the hiccups for many hours, but holy cow, the pinkies lightly over the eyes thing really works. Though it's weird that it only works for the pinkies.

    I've tried this a few times since this episode aired, and it never worked for me. I can touch my eyelids just fine without hiccuping, but as soon as I'm done it continues.
    What works for me is I get half a glass of water, bend over it (have to be standing), get a mouthful from the opposite edge of the glass and swallow it while still bent over. Works for me 19 times out of 20, and the one failure is due to sloppy execution. I'm told it works because it stretches whatever hiccuping causes to convulse.
