The Hic Cup is a stainless steel cup with a brass rod attached to it that "instantly and reliably relieves your problem hiccups". When drinking from the cup, the metal bar rests on the outside of your cheek, forming an electrical circuit that sends a jolt (less than static electricity) into your body and interrupts the hiccup reflex. A cure for hiccups for $25? Not really worth it unless you have a major problem. (via Neatorama) #products
Apparently the media folks who have been covering this story have been snapping up these cups for their own. It seems they think $25. is a small price to pay for performance insurance before they go on the air. Michael Smirconish has been talking about this invention on air (BigTalk1210) for days! He says it has worked for him...
Get with the program, singultus is an under-rated post modern performance problem.
