I’ve tried many things before, but in the past couple days I’ve found that eating a packet or two of mustard tends to get rid of hiccups.
What sort of tricks do you folks have?

It’s all placebo. Whatever you truly believe will cure them cures them. Once you figure this out you can just sort of meditate them away.
Pro tip, if you are around someone with hiccups and you want to help them out, wait for their next hiccup, then immediately after offer them $10 (or anything you can provide as incentive) if they can hiccup one more time. Something about wanting it makes it stop.
Unfortunately, this probably won’t work on you anymore once you’ve read this, so sorry about that. And it only works on the unknowing a few times before they become immune, but it’s a neat trick that they will appreciate it when it works!
I’ve got one that’s not placebo: Doing a whip it. One big ol’ hit of nitrous WILL CURE THEM.
Yeah, I’ll bet most sedatives probably work.
