Tonsil Stones

A tonsil stone is a piece (or more commonly, a cluster) of calcareous matter which forms in the rear of the mouth, in the crevasses of the tonsils.

Tonsil stones, it is theorized, are the result of a combination of any of the following:
-food particles
-dead white blood cells (a.k.a. "leukocytes")
-oral bacteria, possibly from mouth breathing
-overactive salivary glands

They are described as having a pungent odor: Halitosis concentrated into a small solid object. Visually, they may resemble sesame seeds in color and texture.

That's taken basically from Wikipedia and now here's my take on it:


So there called Tonsil stones, but there not real stones. There these little white balls of food particles that get stuck behind your tonsils and basically start to rot and smell. Yeah, I know its gross, but its a cold hard fact and it happens. Ive had them since I was in my teens and always thought I was just different and no body else suffered from these things. Well, I just always used a popicle stick and a flashlight and dug them out. Again, gross i know, but it happens, it causes bad breath, and can just be a nuisance.

But let it be known, alot of people suffer from them, so dont think your alone.
