Chocolate works for hiccups. My father was recovering from abdominal surgery last summer and had lengthy bouts of severe hiccups. His doctors tried anti-spasmodic drugs to end them, and the drugs did not help. I read about this remedy in your book, bought him a bag of chocolate chips, and voilà , it worked.
A: We first heard about eating a few chocolate chips to stop hiccups from a listener to our radio show. Her Danish grandmother had always used this remedy, and she continued the tradition with her children.
I just love those Danes! Almost as much as I love my chocolate! I mean, a day without my coffee, my friends, and some chocolate...well, it just would NOT be a good day!
After all, I love my friends...and I love sharing with them, ya know? Plenty of extra coffee, plenty of extra.....WAIT A MINUTE!!! NOBODY MOVE!! WHO ATE THE LAST OF THE CHO...Oh, never mind! Sorry, I had put it behind the coffee can!
I almost turned into my ugly self! Believe me, you don't want to see my mean and ugly side...you really don't! If you want a preview of what I could become...then look!
Now, my friends, let's get some coffee and sit outside for a while! Don't worry, I'll behave, I really will!
