@1,211,555 (Kook !!rcSrAtaAC)I coughed this up today. It isn't nearly as big as the crazy ones you can see online, but it's the biggest one I've ever had!

I know they form from pieces of food that get left in your mouth and calcify, that they are a leading cause of halitosis, and thet you need to brush your teeth better.

There is no consensus on what causes them or why some people get them worse than others.
@previous (Kook !!rcSrAtaAC)
It's difficult to describe and very distinct so I don't even know what to compare it to. They always smell the same, so I've come to think of it as simply "tonsil stone smell." Mine usually don't smell much unless you squish them, then the smell is more intense.

lol the first one I clicked on literally says in giant bold letters "Tonsil Stones Are Not Necessarily Caused by Poor Oral Hygiene" followed by the first paragraph in that section, including a quote from one of these medical experts:
A common misconception is that tonsil stones are caused by not practicing good oral hygiene. But the truth is that people who brush, floss, and take good care of their teeth and gums can still develop tonsil stones. “We don’t think it’s oral hygiene,” Thatcher says. “In fact, people who are most obsessed with good hygiene can develop tonsil stones.”
