    Its possible to stick your tongue inside your nose from inside your mouth. I am among quite a few people that can do it and clean the inside of the nose from boogers.

    How you ask? Here is the Wikipedia page about that, because if course there is one:

      This one is new to me. Thanks.

        Takes trying for a few days to stretch your tongue to get it far enough back.

      I’m at third stage! I’ve been hiding my tongue behind my uvula since I was a kid. My dentist hated it!

      I never thought of it as stretching… I guess I have a new hobby!
