I got my tonsil's out when I was 5 and didn't know this was a thing until right now. Absolutely terrifying.
nohappydance
TIL these stinky things in fact have a name! Thanks.
noneforgretchenwieners
I didn't even know this was a thing!!!!!
ledious
i used to get them as a kid but not anymore...
rnorja
wtf is wrong with human evolution? No one should have fecess growing in their mouths. It's like having tastebuds on your arsehole.
jumbosmooth
Great. One more thing to worry about. Thanks Imgur!
Maxdamage1
Coughing out tonsil stones is like the second best feeling on Earth. There's relief from a pressure you didn't know was there. So good.
BVELLI
Oh i thought those were dried up semen drops
Rwhejek
I had my tonsils taken out when I was 8. I had no idea this was even a thing..
Corona688
I wish I had my tonsils taken out. That's fallen out of fashion, but chronic tonsilitis has not
Huldra
I honestly cant relate to this. Is this normal for people to have/experience?
elderflowermouse
I'm 35, and I've had them once, just last year. I didn't know they existed until I got them.
Aethers
They smell like death's mulch pit
Borted
if you light them on fire they pop
iusedtobeaspyuntil
Wtf I have never heard of these. I had my tonsils out at an early age but still have never heard of anyone else having them!

I'll just leave this here. You don't have to watch it but here it is. https://youtu.be/QmcqaZOJaOo

I squeezed out all mine a while ago, haven't had any since
BubblesSayingDecent
How do you squeeze them out?
BoredToCreate
Pressed against the tonsil, got used to using my finger but a q tip works till you're used to dodging the gag spot. Just roll it out
GandalfakaOlorin
Wow i sometimes spit something white out, didn't know what it was. Unfortunately now i do... Shit i have tonsile stones
ashipthatshipsshippingships
I still have these. They are the worst.
unabletoplease
On an acid trip with a friend and she has a tonsil stone pop out. She was convinced death was eminent. Trip took a dark turn after that.
putinmybutt
Did it turn dark because she said "If I die I'm taking you with me"? Thus ruining your trip as well.
unabletoplease
Ha! No. I couldn't convince her she was okay. We saved the stone and I told her we could conduct an investigation to find out what it was.
putinmybutt
That's a good enough answer as any.
catfwiedrice
They smell like roses.
AlmostScientist
if roses smelled like the Devil's butthole
marsupialsrus
Roses really smell like poo-poo-poo
TheHonorableJudgeDookie
How do people get these?
SolidBrassAndHangingLow
Few people do, I think it's just a calcification on your tonsil, harmless, but stink like Satan's ass. If you haven't yet, you're prob ok
blazebot4200
My fat ass tonsils like to steal my food. Never used to get them till after I had mono. It scarred my tonsils and now I get stones sometimes
frostedflakesaregrrrrrreat
Mono did it to me, too!!
blazebot4200
Holy shit i feel so validated
RVAROA
Googled tonsil stones. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Just went to the mirror to look at my tonsil. Forgot had them removed when I was 14 years old. ????
learntotakejoke
Wtf is this shit normal?! Y'all are making it seem like it's normal
Imathrowanappalachia
Uses to get them all the time. Had to get my tonsils removed it happened so much.
probablyobvious
I am 33 and I get like one or 2 per year. It's "normal" for me, and it's fairly common, I think like 10%. They suck.
Sloppydrunkcatlady
I get them pretty frequently, shit's nasty
SolidBrassAndHangingLow
I think less than 5% of Americans get them, they're not harmful they just nasty as all hell.
PopkinSandwich
I'm 29 and just discovered I have these, they don't get very big but I can tell when they're there, and I can exercise them
steponabich
Its normal. My sister used to get them often. Doesnt do anything bad, just smells like it does
Chev8t8
It's one of the main functions of the tonsils. They calcify food and other things that get stuff in your throat.
KingOfAntarctica
Huh. I thoughtbitbwas plaque build up.
TheTastiestTampon
I will never understand what gets upvoted or why.
bugeyetex
pengwings
For example, I just upvoted the tastiest tampon
dghammer
Me as well....but apparently tonsil stone is one.
betterthanaboyfriend
Same. Like is this an epidemic we should know about?
erischilde
Because the videos of their removal are so goof
hiimprobablyhigh
Seem like an ad
creamedLead
Probably because people are weird
Bourbonkers
That's true. People are fuckin' weirdos.
OrionRed
I have completely lost faith in the imgur voting system. i don't believe it's really 200, or 300 actual people upvoting something.
Thatoneguywithanalarmclock
Well I'm pivoting this in hopes that people will look up the removal process and be uterley revolted by it cause it's nasty
TotoDufour
datfandomdoe
He isn't bc it's not a tampon
WarningThisElectricianMayShockYou
Had these all the time. Last year i had my tonsils removed and it was the best decision I have ever made. I snore less and breath better too
iamnotsirwalterscott
You can do that? Just decide uou don't feel like having tonsils anymore even if they aren't infected or anything? Tmyk
WarningThisElectricianMayShockYou
I had been having problems for a while. had a golf ball size abscess on them about a year prior and then various smaller ones after too.
iamnotsirwalterscott
Ah. Gross. +1
steponabich
I got my tonsils removed in second grade. Two days later i woke up in the middle of the night with my face covered in blood
ILikeShorts
If you don't mind me asking, about how much does it cost to get done? And was it hard to get it done without a major issue?
WarningThisElectricianMayShockYou
Well i'm Canadian so it cost me like less than $100 for the morphine, T3's and whatever else I was prescribed.
WarningThisElectricianMayShockYou
My surgery was at like 8:30 am and i was out by 12 ish. I was from out of town so I had to stay a night in a hotel near the doc just in case
PenisCork
No clue about cost cus insurance, but they put you under for probably 30 minutes, laser them, and you wake up and get sore throat from hell
PenisCork
I was out of commission for 4 days on painkillers, but the procedure itself is quick, wasn't too much of a pain to set up either
countmeout
I'm considering having it done but I'm terrified of all the stories you hear of how painful it is as an adult
WarningThisElectricianMayShockYou
I was 21 when I had them out and I'll be honest it wasn't the worst thing ever. Yeah it definitely was painful afterwards but drink lots of
WarningThisElectricianMayShockYou
water and stay away from the ice cream, take the eds they prescribe adn it was fine.
biscuitses
I had it done as an adult. It was horrifyingly painful, but still worth it.
mikeshinobi
My tonsil stone popped out at the store yesterday and I was forced to swallow it. Needless to say, I almost died.
iamthisguy247
But you didn't right?
threecheersforsweetrevenge
I have had one pop out perfectly to where I couldn't force it out of my throat, but also struggled to swallow it. It was terrible
Rabinu
They smell like shot but taste nothing...
Halodragonborn
I can't count the Humber of times I've swallowed them

I saw this video years ago and I spent way too much time trying to push tonsil stones out of my tonsils
BurgundyBurrito
Just walk calmly to an isle where nobody is and spit it out. No one will know
SolidBrassAndHangingLow
What I would have done
IDONTKNOWWHATWEREYELLINGABOUTLOUDNOISES
Nobody is forced to swallow. NOBODY.

Unless you ordered the lobster.

So is it hard and chunky like a pebble. Or is that a big ass zit? I don't compute right now ... this like seeing blue waffles first time
HarryHamwallet
Not like a zit, it's like a pebble/chunk lodged in the "crypts" of your tonsils. Ya they are called crypts
Ducksh
WHY IS IT SO BIG

Dude no
NightAlight
Holy shit I'm happy my tonsils were removed as a kid.
Mack1986
Neat
Tricksterrr
Oh god I thought they were small little thingys, like the size of a pinhead or something. Fuck that's nasty.
kah929
I remember having one the size of a pea one time. I poked at it for a good hour before it finally came out. It was gross as shit.
cthulhusbestfriend
They vary in size
gecko08
Sometime I get them and they are about the size of a grain of rice. Usually after eating rice. Literally just a grain of rice sometimes.
threecheersforsweetrevenge
I've had one come out and it was just a few small pieces of sunflower seed
Corrodias
Mine have always been quite small, sesame seed size or so.
Nual
Gross, but oddly satisfying... <.< >.>
ZekeAnima
Never been happier to have had a tonsillectomy when I was younger.
eli808
God yes,thats what I'm saying. I didn't know this was a thing until just now!
Kiwingles
Definitely. Fiance gets these and I'm so thankful I don't.
NotDevin
Agreed
ledious
Everyone who has coughed up a tonsil stone in their childhood; Admit it, you squished it and sniffed it at least once and you almost died.
cinematicheart
Still do.
spiiiiike
oddynuff666
whats a tonsil stone
kah929
As someone who had them for a while when I was younger...yes I did. And yes, they smelled fucking awful. Never did it after that one time.
housev1l
I never had one until a couple years ago. It was freaky until I looked up what it was.
MetSoh
Childhood? I still do it
IamCatbutt
Same dude. I recently coughed up one the size of a small tooth. It smelled like the nasty part of a beach.
herppavitunderrpa23
it's no easy task getting the fuckers out so i'm not just gonna flush it. imma revel in the stink of victory.
scatmanCrothers
Once, then you don't need to revisit that again. I've been blasting them out with the Waterpik set to 1, don't go any higher, it'll cut you.
scatmanCrothers
Important to use lowest setting, just the irrigation knocks them loose. Lean over the sink, mouth down, Waterpik back of throat, don't puke.
commandleech
I'll need to get one of those, which one do yo recommend?
scatmanCrothers
I got the cheapest $30 range. It is still plenty powerful and seems to last.
scatmanCrothers
You don't need power for the tonsils, use lowest setting. I drew tonsil blood with it set too high. Just the irrigation knocks them loose.
