I dont know if anyone knows but I'm from Tampa Florida and there is a girl here that has had the hiccups now for four weeks. She is averaging 50 hiccups per minute.I just thought maybe she could use this cup to help her.She has been on the Today show twice in the past 7 days.Her name is Jennifer Mee and is 15 years old. I have seen a lot of people recommending several ideas on how to get rid of them, except for this cup. Could this help her in anyway? Just thought I would pass this along just in case someone thought this would work for her. Thanks Greg W. Davis
