Say Purple to cure hic-ups

To cure hiccups, take a deep breath and say the word PURPLE slowly as you breath out. I've tried it with other colours but purple is the only one that works!

Not only is it my fave color but saying it cures my hiccups too.

I was stuck at work whn I got the hiccups, so I didn't have access to sugar or vinegar. This worked right away!

The first time I heard I was like "Whatever!"

This does work, and you don't even have to say it slowly. Just say the colour like you mean it, if ya get what I mean?

Purrrrple!
