I was buying groceries on line when this item was thrown at me as an under $10 bargain. I had no idea I'd been walking around never, ever knowing I had stones in my throat. Did you?
This is a really handy gadget as it also does double duty for plucking crap out of your ears. What a bargain! I'm sure they must carry a stitchomatic (or ear glue) for patching up those pierced ear drums and that accidental tracheostomy too.
Here's the blurb:
"A soft silicone cap to scratching your throat for a better touch feeling.
With a transparent storage case and a stainless steel ear pick.
An useful tool set for the removal of annoying tonsil stones.
Come with a LED Light for a clear vision, convenient to use.
Can also be used as a Ear Wax Remover."
You can tell the grammar is from foreign parts.
I am now going to work really hard at being annoyed at my tonsil stones.
Yikes and now emergency rooms will be filled with people who tried to remove those annoying tonsil stones!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many can be retrieved with a single session or does it become a weekly event Jackie? With time out for ear drum piercing.

That’s hilarious :-)
ReplyDeleteI actually have a couple of those plastic syringes, which you can get for free from your dentist, and they are excellent for treating gum infections with hydrogen peroxide (I used to get them a lot). But the tonsil stones?!? And the ear pick? Wow.
You've clearly missed out on such lovely enhancements to your personal hygiene routines Annie!
ReplyDeleteIt's on sale for $8.97. I love that it has a light for those dark internal corners.

Is it wrong of me to think that anyone who buys this little gem has rocks in their head rather than stones in their throat? Perhaps they can extract those rocks using the ear pick.
ReplyDeleteIt is so extraordinary, EC. I had to read it twice. Good use for the earpick. Self-administered brain surgery, who'd have thunk it it?

New fangled devices. A good old pack of Marlborough will have you coughing out those tonsil stones in no time.
ReplyDeleteAnd far, far cheaper too, well maybe not with the price of cigs today.
DeleteThe pebble picker sounds like it would be a good idea to have a how to class, etc. I wouldn't want to miss any even with the handy light.

Foreign pandering to people who have more money than sense...

I am truly amazed at the crap some people come up with, and even more amazed at the fools who believe these things are necessary for the problems they don't even have, but now think maybe they do but just haven't noticed.
ReplyDeleteI guess I could come up with a business to do this much needed work with my gadgets. On second thoughts, my nausea might get in the way. Plus law suits.

Prettyt sure one of my kids has removed tonsil stones with a chopstick. I'm not sure. I hope it was a dedicated chopstick
ReplyDeleteWhat do they look like Kylie? :D

white-grey calcium looking deposits lodged in tonsils. They actually remind me of the kidney stones we once had in the freezer at a place I worked....haha isn't that weird
DeleteFascinating I had never heard of such things. How does calcium build up in that moist past of the mouth I wonder.

You were lucky to have been so ignorant till now. Now, your problems will start imagining stones in your throat.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should see the doctor for a stones checkup? Surgery might be needed.

Maybe tonsil stones is a very bad translation for those yellow lumps that sometimes nest in your tonsils. But you do not need this strange thing to remove them ;) Gargling will do.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm sure, Charlotte, but I had visions of gravel pit at the back of my mouth :)
