#Scientists create new straw as an ‘instant cure for hiccups’

Scientists have created a cure for hiccups that doesn’t involve people ridiculously screaming “boo!” or holding your nose while chugging water.

The “HiccAway” a “forced inspiratory suction and swallow tool”, is an L-shaped straw with an adjustable pressure valve on one end, according to the Guardian. Sipping water out of this rigid straw will immediately cure the hiccups for most people. It costs $14.

According to a study co-authored by Dr Ali Seifi, associate professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, and published in the Jama Network, “the results reveal that the device stopped hiccups in almost 92 percent of cases. Just over 90 percent of participants said they found it more convenient than other home remedies, while 183 of 203 participants said it gave better results.

“It works instantly and the effect stays for several hours,” Seifi told the Guardian.
