Well as you know I am a bartender. I have been doing it for 2 years now. Since the day I started working there, I have noticed wierd things that people choose to use lemons for. The one thing that almost all of my customers agree with is "if they have hicups, hand them a lemon slice" Sucking on a lemon takes hicups away.

thats interesting because the cause of hiccups is when ur diaphragm (muscle under ur lungs, helps with breathing) spasms, which then upsets ur breathing, making u hiccup.

i suppose sucking on the lemon makes u swallow lemon juice and air? im not sure but that is interesting.
