- the changing of the leaves
- the feeling of the holiday season coming close
- life steadily regaining routine after the summertime.
But there are a few other things you can rely on every year
that come in the form of Sweet Treats...
- Cakes
- cookies
- brownies
- Candies.
And with these things, Fall brings
Candy Corn.
Not only is Candy Corn one of the most popular Halloween, Thanksgiving, Fall essentials of candy dish offerings, it also serves as a wonderful cure for a common bodily behavior that is also prominent around this type of year from all the sugary-bubbly goodness.
Now, I don't take credit for this Solution Therapy hypothesis, test, and proven result (over and over).... Someone else in my family tested this on my daughters, while they were at their house; but I promise,
It Works.
And not just for them.
If you remember in my first Solution Center blog, I described a bodily function that can cause brutal jolts to the body; The kind that make your whole chest expand and thrust the rest of you body into uncontrollable flails of limbs and a head-bobb to match.
Not very much fun.
After hearing my family member's experience with this newly introduced Hiccup Solution hypothesis, and having my daughters back-up the proof, I decided that it may be a logical solution.
However, I needed to test the theory myself.... But I hadn't had the hiccups in quite a while, come to think of it...
Well, it's Fall and there is a plethora of Candy Corn, et al, to be had and eaten. And since my family member introduced this type of candy to my daughters at such an early age, it's one of their favorite quick sweet treats to snag... Therefore, we have a stash in the essential candy dish on our table.
And quite unexpectedly, but in good testing time, I got the hiccups, just two nights ago...
DING! DING! DING!
Time to experiment!
Half the Candy Corn did it for me! Hiccups: BE GONE!!
And they were, within less than a minute.
I've noticed pieces in the dish
that have just the tips bitten off....
So apparently one or both of the girls got the hiccups at some point and remembered the Solution Therapy... and grabbed a nibble of Candy Corn. At least they know how to remedy the "jolt-jerking dance belly hiccup groove" on their own!
Depending on how severe the case of hiccups you are currently experiencing, there are various doses of "medicine" that you can take: bitten tips, half, whole, or in extreme cases...
Pumpkin Size.
No matter your needs or prescribed dose,
there's a cure for all sizes and random arm flails.
And thankfully, the Candy Corn making company was smart enough to change the color tones depending on the season and holiday, therefore making this Hiccup Therapy solution available at most times throughout the year.
So the next time you have body-wrenching, chest bumpin', new dance move groove-making hiccups, grab a Nibble, a piece, or a chunk of candy dish essentials!
[and if you've run out of the essential, you can always revert back to Solution#1]!
