Growing up, I felt like getting tonsils removed was as common as changing teeth, it must've happened to a third or so of my classmates at the time.

It seemed harmless enough from a distance, they pull out some stuff from your throat and you get ice cream.

They tell you you can have all the ice cream you want to eat, but neglect to mention that you'll be in too much pain and too nauseous to actually want to eat any. :P

Believe me, all the ice cream in the world isn't worth that experience. You're not missing anything.

I had mine out as an adult and it was a pretty painful week of recovery.
