yeah thanks for letting me finally realize that I am not alone. I never talked to anyone about my puss or whatever you want to call them because I was always embarrassed about them even though I know others in my family has them, and the smell has always offended me, they always will. I am an ex-smoker and I was really hoping that they would end when my bad habit did, but I have not had a cigarette in five years and they are still there. I hope, as I am sure we all do, that I never have another piece of c**p come out of mouth. Thanks again everyone. I guess I am NORMAL. :-D :-)

One source i read says that post nasal drip can be a factor too. It says these chunks are made of bacteria, food debris, skin cells, and also mucous. yuck

:-) hi there, thank goodness i was beginig to think there was something worng with me. I have had these for a little over a year now but they didn't start untill my dentist made me wear a mouth gaurd at night for my tmj. I think it might be sinus related they do stink my hubby wont kiss me any more because of them even though i brush and brush he says he can taste them i feel like a freak. The dentist said the saliva has to go over the gaurd so maybe the same thing happens with my sinus at night my family has chronic sinus problems. so maybe the sinus stuf hardens on my throat> i don't know my grandma is a nurse and she said its just sinus nothing to worry about. I do notice though that since they appeared I feel tired a lot and sometimes weak. I mean Im not sick or anything. I think a doctor should study these and find a cure since so many people have them. They are really becoming unconfortable I am the mother of two small kids and cant really take the time to have my tonsils taken out so if anyone knows of anyway to get rid of these things please help. I'm desperate I want my hubby to kiss me again and I know he wont utill they are gone. thanks

I have had the nasty little stink bombs in my throat for years off and on. I had gotten rid of them by taking antibiotics for 5 days. One night I got very drunk and kissed a questionable girl and had them since. I'm going to the doctors for another 5 day dose and Hopefully it helps again. The smell is un-nerving especially when you start to notice that people avoid talking to you because of the smell. Think about what you said about people with the smell of death in their mouths.

i get this from time to time. I use a qtip to scratch it off and gargle with salt water. it hurts a little then you get used to it. lessens the time of sore throat. mine is usually from post nasal drip.

Anti biotics will give u bad breathe. I have this problem to and the only way to beat it is by having a mouthwash or try salt / water and gargle at the back of the throat and they will loosen up and that way u can spit it out. btw tongue cleaning wont stop them because i still get them and have great mouth hygiene / clean my tongue everyday

It was so great to hear I am not alone with these things. I've been a couple times a week here recently and it started after a bad cold about a month ago. For some reason I always get them (or at least notice them) after having a cold. Does anyone know if having the tonsils removed will cure this problem. I am dating and this situation has made me really self conscious of my breath. I bought a breath care kit that has a tongue scraper, floss, mouthwash rinse, etc. but have a smelly white chunk as we speak. Often times for me I can't even see the chunk but I can feel it. It will pop out on my tongue if I'm yawning or gargling sometimes. Don't squish it and smell your fingers...LOL

Another way to get rid of them is to get your tonsils removed.
The other post was correct, food collects on the back of the tonsil and talking alot, clearing of the throat,yelling and continuous swallowing dislodges them. The smell is from the food rotting and the bacteria collecting on them.

I also get them. They appear every 4 - 6 months and linger for approx. 2 weeks. I become very self conscious and chew a tonne of gum during this time. I also don't know how to get rid of them. I am going to stay away from eating late at night and try gargling with salt water before bed time.

I have these too. I told my husband them and he said he never heard of that...so next time i had one i had him smell it and he almost threw up! HAHA. Anyways...I have a really long tongue and I always pick my throat with my tongue and try to pop them out. It feels like popcorn..that is what I thought it was until i got it out..they smell soooo bad..I dont smoke...i dunno...i am glad to hear i am not the only one.

I have had these disgusting smelly things for years. It really grosses me out. I push on my tonsils as well to get the awful things out. I hate the smell and taste it leaves in my mouth..I am very self conscious. I googled this years ago and found a product called "TheraBreath" that does WONDERS for neutralizing the odor. I need to order it again. I use a tongue scraper twice daily and still get them. I believe it is from excess mucus, which is allergy and sinus related. Seriously though, TheraBreath products are AWESOME!!!

i just drank some juice and felt one, it was soo weird.
i haven't had these since middle school, and i'm in my senior year of high school. i only get them when i don't eat much. and i've been on a liquid diet.
i remember when i first had them, i was afraid i was going to die. haha natural reaction when you're young and don't know much.
i'm going to try out gargling with salt water, thanks for the advice! :-D

Garggling with Listerine helps - takes the white lumps right off
