    “Lego stuck in my nose for nearly 3 decades finally comes out? I CAN SMELL COLORS NOW,” the caption for the Sept. 1 video read.

    The Lego dot got lodged in Havoc’s nose 26 years ago when they placed it there while playing with construction toys, Havoc said.

    At the time, Havoc said he attempted to extricate the dot with a Lego man, thinking that the two pieces could attack.

    “It was like a rescue mission,” Norton said.

    The “brilliant idea” didn’t go as planned, and the Lego head also got stuck.

    Havoc said they had been blowing their nose in the shower for the past six months as per their doctor’s advice because of the arid conditions where they live in Arizona, when the toy shot out.

    “Today, I was blowing my nose in the shower, and lo and behold, I blew out a Lego dot that has been in my nose for at least 26 years,” Havoc said in the video. “ And I don’t know what to think of this.”

    “I can breathe out of this side of my nose now, and it’s fantastic,” Havoc said. “I haven’t been able to do that since I was a child.”

    Holding the newly-freed toy in a Ziploc bag toward the end of the video, Havoc said “I am shooken.”

    My brother and I when we were little, would put a popcorn seed in one nostril and blow it at each other while pushing on the other nostril. Well our baby brother, 4 at the time, thought he would be sneaky to make a machine gun, so he turned his head and kept cramming popcorn seeds in his nose until he realized something wasn't right. My mom was so mad, she took him to the ER and we got our butts handed to us 🤣🤦
