Yes those things-yack!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No I don't smoke and I don't ever get bad tonsils, I don't have bad breath either (I asked my mum lol). They actually wreak though and I know loads of people that get them too but no one knows what they are!

If lots of people get them then why are you being anonymous? Also I think I had one once but strangely enough I didn't think of smelling it. I have also heard other people mention them so hopefully we can't all be dying of a horrible disease.
you don't have to have bad tonsils to get them. theres crevices around your tonsils where debris can get build up and then get dislodged and then there you go.. lumps of yellow crap comin up into your mouth. most people have it at some point. can sometimes be after a throat infection or just randomly.

There you are, not anonymous anymore. No need to be an arsehole. Well maybe your just used to **** coming out of your mouth or something, I however was a bit curious as to what it was:biggrin:

OMG! what do you mean weird lumps that come into your mouth? Like tumours? Or things you can spit out?:eek: It sounds really minging
Panic not, apparently everyone gets them but most people swallow them without noticing them, you get them more if you have allergies and stuff. I searched 'tonsil stones' on google. I'm happy now! They aren't tumoursxx
You mean those things on your tongue?

Then suddenly - like a reflection they will get pushed up because of that gag reflex. They are just bits of food just not been digested...
I've had them a few times, they're absoutely rank and smell like mouldy sick blllleurgh
oooh they're called tonsilloliths, it's quite interesting to know what they are at last!

That was a bit harsh, I only asked if the anonymous system was really necessary for something like this and then I talked about these strange little lumps.
I get those sometimes. Perfectly normal :p:
