Makes sense. I was very jealous of my friends at the time but I never took mine out.

I just get mad tonsil stones now. lol

My grandmother had hers taken out in the 1940's. Now she has a small pocket/hole that food gets stuck in which can cause her to gag and/or sometimes throw up.

I have those even with tonsils. The gunk produced by it can STINK
