I just wanted to say that banana protectors are most definitely NOT a North London thing.

All I need to stop my hiccups is a plain old cup of water. No shock needed. I don’t really need to drink a lot- just go through the sip and swallow actions rapidly. Oddly only the good old drinking method works reliably for me- deep breaths or holding my breath doesn’t work.

One bizarre patent is patent 5373560. It’s just two numbers. Legally, you can’t use them without permission.

why pay say 20 dollars for that kiss shield when you could just as easily use a piece of plastic wrap? or maybe just kiss like normal people?

Huh.

I’ve found the best way to stop hiccups is to sit up as straight as possible, plant your feet flat on the floor and breath (deeply) in your mouth and out your nose. It actually works—the stretching helps open up the glottis and ease the pressure off your diaphragm. It’s a little safer than introducing electricity and water into the mix.

Next time you get the hiccups, try the posture thing.

Oh, and #9 surprises me that it’s a UK patent. It seems like something one of us lazy, fatass Americans would come up with.

#12: Useful if having ***** during nuclear fallout.

I could easily use number 2, number 4, number 7, number 8, number 9, number 14, and number 15.

Number 12 cracks me up. Just the upper half of the picture.
