Two recent-ish Research Panel Day Researches looked at curing a couple of food-related ailments, a fish bone in the throat and a dose of hiccups.
On the 18th and 19th of March 2012 197,678 members of their monitor panel were asked how they most often got a fish bone unstuck from their throats. The most popular solution with 59.1% of the votes was swallowing a mouthful of rice, the Japanese variant on the method my mother taught me, swallowing dry bread. Next was 13.0% who don?t do anything in particular, 6.3% gargle, 3.7% get tweezers, etc and fish it out themselves, 2.1% go to hospital, and 4.6% some other technique. Furthermore, 9.7% had never had a fish bone stick, and another 1.4% don?t eat fish.
Back in 2011, on the 17th and 18th of June of that year, 162,994 members of their monitor panel were asked what they do when they cannot stop hiccuping. The most popular solution was holding one?s breath, with 42.5% doing this; I do this and press down on my diaphram at the same time. 30.5% gulp a glass of water, 10.8% slowly breath in, 7.0% drink from the other side of a glass, 5.3% get people to suprise them, 1.9% get people to slap them on their back, and 0.4% grab their tongues in their hands and pull it for several seconds! There were 21.7% who used other techniques (hopefully none the above-pictured one!), and just 1.2% who have never had the hiccups.
