Why Do You Get Hiccups?
4. Soda
Soda is great for cooling down on a hot day and, with so many flavors available, there is something for everybody. Soda is also carbonated, which means that it will release carbon dioxide gas in bubbles after it has been opened. The soda will continue to release gas even after it has been consumed, and this can lead to bloating.
If you gulp soda down to quickly then you can end up with too much gas in the stomach. This can cause us to burp to release the gas, and it can also cause us to get the hiccups. It is good idea to try and limit your consumption of soda anyway because it is very high in sugar, making it one of the leading contributors to obesity.
