Eating too much Cap'n Crunch.

[–]30s_rock 24 points25 points ago

If by eating you mean sucking, and by Capn' Crunch you mean a shattered glass dildo then I agree.

[–]Paragalor 26 points27 points ago

If by sucking you mean eating, and by a shattered glass dildo you mean Cap'n Crunch, then I also agree.

[–]Squishy_Vengence 4 points5 points ago

No it was too many sour patch kids

[–]time2chasecars -1 points0 points ago

hmm.... never had a problem like that with cap'n crunch

[–]Skreex 36 points37 points ago

Wikipedia Article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrotal_tongue

EDIT: It's common, and (mostly) painless

Avoid pineapples if you have it.

[–]Midnight_Skye 43 points44 points ago

scrotal tongue

Was hoping for tongues with balls, dissappointed

[–]DiscoPandaKungFu 9 points10 points ago

But you'll always have Scrotie McBoogerBalls.

[–]Fluffy433 11 points12 points ago

Today i learn i have scrotal tongue

[–]A_Hole_Sandwich 9 points10 points ago

Would you be so kind to take a picture of your tongue?

[–]clooth 5 points6 points ago

[–]rorykins 7 points8 points ago

That is fucking disgusting. What are the white bits?

[–]SkyPeople 8 points9 points ago

scrotals

[–]clooth 1 point2 points ago

I'm not sure, I think the lighting got screwed a bit, there's nothing white on my tongue in real life. O_o

Sorry for bad quality

[–]jesuspeeker 4 points5 points ago

What happens when you get hot sauce in the cracks?

[–]GeneralLeeFrank 4 points5 points ago

I seem to have a slight bit of this along with geographic tongue. I have to eat citrusy and salty foods in moderation. Doesn't hurt except for a bit of a burn if I eat too many pineapples.

[–]nance13two 3 points4 points ago

Yep, my tongue's always been geographic but the only thing that stings is fresh pineapple--which I love and eat 'til it hurts.

[–]thompsonchris33 4 points5 points ago

well on the bright side, if you eat too many pineapple women will love your taste.... just saying.

[–]Amavin 0 points1 point ago

Fissures in the tongue are common with geographic tongue. Strawberries make my tongue swell...and a piercing is not a good idea. Mine lasted 5 years and even at the end too much salt or even a tiny bit of citrus made my tongue swell.

[–]LittlePieceOfMe 0 points1 point ago

I used to have geographic tongue, and then it just disappeared.

[–]IchBinLiebe 4 points5 points ago

Dammit, here I was thinking I was going to be able to play doctor and diagnose this first...

[–]GOLDARVSSILENCIO 2 points3 points ago

a girl i know has this its really weird ! she tried to get her tongue pierced but they turned her down because of it

[–]clooth 0 points1 point ago

Actually, I have this, and I must say that it is not completely painless. When eating bitter foods, like tomato, it does burn a little bit. Licking a popsicle may cause small amount of bleeding as well, because the ice rubs against the tongue's gaps and it doesn't like it at all.

[–]MasterKashi 0 points1 point ago

Sometimes, I had an issue with this last weekend, caused a dull burning sensation that eventually numbed out.

[–]Gundun 0 points1 point ago

Yeah pineapples on your scrotum can be way too painful

[–]daywalkermarshmallow 21 points22 points ago

TIL there is a condition called 'scrotal tongue'

[–]Scrotums 17 points18 points ago

We have been attempting to extend our influence to other key areas of the body.

[–]zip_000 10 points11 points ago

I've got this. I totally thought it was normal for most of my life. It doesn't have any effect - no particularly bad breath or anything.

[–]djezer 9 points10 points ago

Same here. Born with it and never bothered me. Very useful to gross people out though.

[–]Gamegirlab 3 points4 points ago

Oral from you must be intense.

[–]abrandnewanthem 7 points8 points ago

I always felt like that happened to my tongue after I got a big bag of sour warheads.

[–]Mensabutt 6 points7 points ago

All things considered, I'd take scrotal tongue over dick nose.

[–]ReignbowGirl 8 points9 points ago

A good mum will let you lick the beaters. A really good mum will turn off the mixer first.

[–]ProtoDong 12 points13 points ago

I had a girlfriend who had a fissured tongue like this.... best fucking blowjobs ever. Some day I will find another girl who has a tongue like this.

[–]Eustis 0 points1 point ago

Was kissing weird?

[–]MyOtherNameIsWitty 6 points7 points ago

Kissing a girl?

Ewww!! She sucks a dick with that! Gross...

[–]lavaenema 0 points1 point ago

TIL I gave myself a bj by proxy.

[–]ProtoDong 2 points3 points ago

As if you wouldn't if you could.

[–]ProtoDong -2 points-1 points ago

No didn't notice it during kissing.... generally only the tips of the tongues touch. But it was definitely much more stimulating to my cock.

[–]haleybaley 2 points3 points ago

Damn War Heads

[–]voidminded 0 points1 point ago

Always wondered what would happen if you ate the whole bag of Sour Patch Kids

[–]JethroWashington 2 points3 points ago

its hereditary

[–]Nistune 3 points4 points ago

I have seen this re-posted a few times, and even seen other pictures of it...but I still find myself extremely curious. It just looks painful and... unpleasant. I read the wikipedia article, but I wonder if all of the fissures mean a loss of taste, or if your more likely to bite your tongue. I would even like to see a video of someone with this moving their tongue...

[–]strawcat 1 point2 points ago

[–]rudifer_jones 0 points1 point ago

You ever watch the movie "Teeth"?

[–]RedRaine84 0 points1 point ago

Wish I had her ability. That bitch is a super hero.

[–]Prone2Obbsessions 0 points1 point ago

YES!!!! sorry for my enthusiasm but it seems like no one else I've talked to has seen this movie. What a hilarious movie the whole gynecologist scene "What do you have up here". I need to buy this movie :)

[–]CaptainFunyun 0 points1 point ago

My tongue is the same way!

[–]DJ131 0 points1 point ago

Blowjobs, now ribbed for his pleasure.

[–]alsobrante 1 point2 points ago

Don't know, I think is "normal".. I have one big "what ever the hell is that" in the center of my tongue

[–]A_Hole_Sandwich 0 points1 point ago

I had what looked like a cut int the center of mine for a week or so. It was painful though, I have no idea what caused it.

[–]rubyroborr 2 points3 points ago

I have this, and my brother always said I chewed on razor blades as a child to make fun of me. Now he knows it's called scrotal tongue, nothing has changed on making fun of me.

[–]SUPEEPIKDUDE 4 points5 points ago

[–]Tiranosharkusrex 3 points4 points ago

Your thinking of bath salts.

[–]SUPEEPIKDUDE 0 points1 point ago

no bath salts make you eat people meth makes you makeout with kitchen appliences.

[–]Tiranosharkusrex 1 point2 points ago

And mutilate yourself. Close friend of mine tried it. Fucking moron cut his ear off and died. Thought i knew him better.

A cracked tongue is caused by malnutrition.

[–]XxMrPerfectPRxX 1 point2 points ago

its painless really...

[–]Strikerj94 1 point2 points ago

TIL I am a 2-5% minority! hurray!

[–]medicgenius 1 point2 points ago

Fissured tongue (also known as "scrotal tongue," "lingua plicata," "Plicated tongue,"[1]:1038 and "furrowed tongue"[2]:800) is a benign condition characterized by deep grooves (fissures) in the dorsum of the tongue. Although these grooves may look unsettling, the condition is usually painless. Some individuals may complain of an associated burning sensation however

[–]Tashisnumerouno -1 points0 points ago

CRINGE. NYAAAAH hnnnggg

[–]enoch1122 -1 points0 points ago

Sour patch kids.

[–]marthonis -1 points0 points ago

It's "normal." Had a friend who had this.

[–]chellgames 1 point2 points ago

This has been reposted so fucking much...

[–]Tiranosharkusrex -1 points0 points ago

Does mashed potatoes or orher mushy food ever get in there and you have to kinda suck it out or rinse your mouth out?

[–]CaptainFunyun -1 points0 points ago

Nope...never in my life have I ever had to suck mashed potatoes or anything mushy out of my tongue cracks

[–]Eskygirl 1 point2 points ago

If I had that, I think I'd rather call it "furrowed tongue." Scrotal? Really?

[–]delmarman -1 points0 points ago

my friend has this, its weird but you don't really notice it..because it's their tongue..

[–]XzentraediX -1 points0 points ago

Finally....someone else!!

[–]lagistix -1 points0 points ago

There was that same photo a couple weeks ago it said after effect of eating glass

[–]MrsRi -2 points-1 points ago

This makes my split tongue seem so blah now... That's like a cat tongue. Must be awesome in oral

[–]804R -2 points-1 points ago

I have it, to a much lesser degree. It's only visibly noticeable. I mean, stroke a finger over it, on you won't notice.

[–]kjclb54 0 points1 point ago

[–]Oramina -2 points-1 points ago

My husband's tongue looks like that! He says it burns when he eats anything spicy. His sister also has it, they were told by their mom that it was because of the seizures they suffered when they were young. If its genetic I wonder why the others don't have it

[–]boba_fettish85 -1 points0 points ago

My dad's tongue is like this... much worse than this pic though. He can't eat anything spicy... not ever black table pepper.

[–]wullymammith[!] -2 points-1 points ago

I made out with someone who had scrotal tongue once. Wasn't quite a deal-breaker, but it sure did help.

[–]partytime71 -2 points-1 points ago

I have the geographic scrotal tongue too. I amaze my children with it.

[–]yellowzealot -2 points-1 points ago

My friend brandons tongue is like this, he can't eat anything spicy.

[–]edsave -2 points-1 points ago

TIL I have a condition. It's totally painless. I would say the only downside is that I seem to be more sensitive to spicy food, which being Mexican is kind of a big deal around here.

[–]litlmutt 0 points1 point ago

My friend had that in Jr high. Whenever people got silly Id look at him and say tongue em. He'd stick his tongue out and people would go what the fuck and walk away.

[–]AmyLee_8 -2 points-1 points ago

This is what mine looks like too. During my whole childhood I would never stick my tongue out at my friends and stuff like they always did, because I got made fun of alot. I literally thought I was the only one and had no idea what the fuck was wrong with me, until now. Wow, Thanks Reddit!

[–]SuzetteJo -2 points-1 points ago

You'd be surprised. When my tongue is inside my mouth, it looks normal, it's only when I stick it out that it looks EXACTLY like this picture. I haven't got any complaints tho... It's been that way since I was born. Literally thought I was a freak. Thanks reddit for showing me I am still semi-normal lol

[–]juanitothebandito 1 point2 points ago

More importantly is that a woman ? Cause she has a fuck hairy chin....

[–]BadTouchTrio -1 points0 points ago

My friend got a tongue like that after it swelled up.

[–]Beast_and_the_harlot -1 points0 points ago

Really sour candy.

[–]CivilCJ -1 points0 points ago

Mine does that after I eat a lot of salt and vinegar chips! But its only a few cracks and my tongue feels like sandpaper afterwards.
