We at HistoryColored have decided to curate 50 interesting, rare and iconic photos from history. There are many reasons why a photograph may be featured on this list. Some of the reasons include: it was the first time something was ever captured on camera, it shows a famous figure from history, the image depicts an important historical event, it is a “rare” photo that does not get shared as much as it should, or it is an “iconic” historical photo. It may not fall under any of these categories but can still be featured in this list for a different reason.
These photographs are in no particular order. They have been curated and added to the list over a long period of time, so no decision was taken on how they should be ordered. Be sure to take the time to check out every historical photograph featured on this list!

Understanding Tonsil Stones: Causes, Symptoms, and Effective Treatments
In the vast and ever-expanding world of the internet, it doesn’t take long to stumble upon content that surprises, fascinates, or even repels. Social media platforms have made it easier than ever to share images and videos globally, leading to viral trends that capture our curiosity—often centered around the human body and its peculiarities.
From pimple extractions to cyst drainages and earwax removals, videos showcasing these processes have carved out a niche online. But have you ever encountered the topic of tonsil stones? If not, you’re not alone. I, too, was unaware of them until I came across a video that both fascinated and slightly horrified me.
For those unfamiliar, let’s start with the basics: What are tonsil stones?
According to the Mayo Clinic, tonsil stones are hard, white or yellowish formations that develop on the tonsils. While they are generally harmless and not painful, they can be unpleasant and are often treatable at home.
Tonsil stones form when debris—including food particles, dead cells, and bacteria—gets trapped in the small crevices (or crypts) of the tonsils. Over time, this material can calcify, resulting in the formation of these solid masses. The presence of bacteria and fungi in this buildup can also contribute to bad breath, one of the most common symptoms associated with tonsil stones.
Though many people may have tonsil stones without even realizing it, others may experience symptoms such as persistent bad breath, throat irritation, coughing, ear discomfort, or a feeling of something stuck in the throat.
It’s estimated that around 3 million Americans deal with tonsil stones every year. Fortunately, their removal is usually straightforward. Simple home remedies, such as gargling with salt water or using a cotton swab to gently dislodge the stones, are often effective. In some cases, even a strong cough can loosen and expel them naturally.
If you’re curious to see what tonsil stone removal looks like, be warned: it’s not for the faint of heart. Viral videos showcasing this process have gained millions of views, satisfying the curiosity of viewers worldwide.
While the visuals might be a bit graphic, understanding tonsil stones and how to manage them can be both informative and oddly captivating. Whether you’re just learning about them or you’re already familiar, one thing is certain—the human body never ceases to amaze.
