    Sounds like a tooth :eek:

    I used to work with a woman and her breath smelled like death.

    I do have to agree this thread is the grossest in a bit... but yet here we all are :p

    it's a Tonsil Stone....

    that's what I've been told.

    Dr. said everyone with tonsils gets them at some point in their lives usually caused by sinus drainage and bacteria.

    When I was a resident and worked in the clinic, you wouldn't believe how many people came in with these thinking they were one more cough away from death.

    But they are pretty fucking disgusting, and I have seen a lot of disgusting bodily excretions/creations in my lifetime.

    I cannot decide if this is the grossest thing, most hilarious thing, or weirdest thing ever...


    I'm going to have to go with all 3.

    I want to rip my tonsils out now, so I dont have to think of this laying dormant in the back of my throat...*vomit*

    Wow i've had these for almost all my life, a few occasional times during a year. Glad to know it's not a freak incident.

    And I don't think the OP is gross, it's natural. :)

    Yippee post 2000.

    When I look at your name, I think its always Gobsbrown, for some reason.
    Now it kinda fits :p:D

    And I dont think OP is gross either, just the description from alot of people and the thought of it all is gross.

    Haha it's a stupid name, I made it because I wanted to make one post and couldn't think of anything.

    But as I saw i was hitting 2000 i was wondering if I was recognizable, but apparently I am now! So thank you very much haha! :D:D

    I think the worst part in this thread was when the OP said s/he'd crushed it. yuck.


    anyway, it's not dangerous but I hate them! luckily haven't had any in ages now. *knocks on wood*
