Billionaire and long-time Shark, Mark Cuban, invested $250,000 USD for a 20% stake in the company on Episode 12 of Shark Tank Season 13. He was excited about it, and explained that he could see the HiccAway being a staple household product in the near future.
The HiccAway Straw is the only drug-free, all-natural instant hiccup cure! Made of BPA and chemical free polypropylene. Designed and manufactured in the USA. Safe for all ages above 1 year. Contains one (1) HiccAway Straw.
Put the cap on the desired setting, either CHILD or ADULT. Note that the tab on the cap should be facing the setting you choose.
Place the HiccAway into a glass of water. Note that the cup of water should be shallow, less than half full. If the length of the device is significantly submerged, it will lower the power of suction.
Forcibly sip from the mouthpieces and immediately swallow, in one breath. Repeat 2-3 cycles without stopping.
Invented By A Neurosurgeon
The HiccAway Straw was invented by Dr. Ali Seifi, Professor of Neurosurgery and Director of the Neurological ICU at the University of Texas. After witnessing his patients uncomfortable with hiccups during intense recovery he realized that there had to be a simple way to relieve this unnecessary discomfort.
In his 25 year profession, he had seen solutions and remedies for hundreds of pains, aches and problems, except for one… hiccups. He was determined to create a solution. And after a couple years of testing and countless variations he developed HiccAway! The first ever, drug-free, guaranteed solution to instantly relieve hiccups.
After sharing his discovery with friends, family and colleagues, he quickly realized that HiccAway would not only be beneficial for medical use but would be a great addition to every household as a simple, easy way to cure hiccups. While Dr. Seifi is still practicing and teaching medicine – he now has an additional mission of curing hiccups one sip at a time with HiccAway. No more silly remedies - just instant hiccup relief!

What Is A Hiccup?
A hiccup is a sudden, involuntary spasm of the diaphragm, a muscle that separates the lungs from the abdomen and regulates breathing. When the phrenic nerve (that runs from the neck to the lower chest) is irritated, it stimulates the diaphragm. The diaphragm spasms, and the brain sends a frantic “SOS” to the vagus nerve that controls the Epiglottis, a flap at the back of the throat that directs food into the esophagus and air into the lungs. The epiglottis seals itself shut. The body protests with a “hiccup.”
How Does HiccAway Work?
HiccAway instantly relieves hiccups by generating enough pressure while sipping from the device to lower the diaphragm, while simultaneously activating the leaf-shaped flap in the throat (the Epiglottis). Doing this stimulates the two key nerves (The Phrenic & Vagus Nerves) responsible for the hiccups, allowing the brain to reset and stop the hiccups.
