We've all been on the receiving end of a bad bout of hiccups - now, a new invention seeks to change that.

A group of scientists have invented a new L-shaped straw called HiccAway, which promises to banish hiccups.

The device - which retails at US$14 (NZ$20.10) - was successful in shutting down 92 per cent of hiccup cases in a test group.
