Huge debate sparked after man revealed ‘The Yellow Pillow’ to his girlfriend

Huge debate sparked after man revealed ‘The Yellow Pillow’ to his girlfriend

Man turns to internet to defend him after revealing 'disgusting' yellow pillow to his girlfriend

The world is a straight up bizarre place but a raging debate has been sparked over a yellow pillow.

Now, this isn’t an optical illusion image that has begun circulating social media like that blue dress back in the day (yes it was blue).

But rather a lad revealed to his girlfriend that key to getting the perfect nights sleep was using 'The Yellow Pillow'.

Plenty guys have them, an old, battered and fluff-less pillow that they have had for so long and washed so infrequently its essentially turned yellow.

Pretty much turning yellow from the accumulation of head sweat that has been bestowed upon it over the years by the bloke.

Admittedly that grim description hardly sounds like the most important part to ensuring a great nights sleep, but some guys swear by it.

You'd (hopefully) never expect anyone else to sleep on The Yellow Pillow, but there are those who understand the comforting companion which cushions your cranium in the land of nod.

Then there's people who don't understand why some men are hanging onto a pillow that's curdled yellow and likely extremely disgusting, much less spending a third of their life with their face pressed against it.

A lad who goes by the name of Cam on social media posted a picture of a yellow pillow, saying his girlfriend was 'mad at me' for the revelation, but trusting the boys to back him up on how 'magic' The Yellow Pillow really is.

Cam added that his beloved pillow 'bestows upon me the most peaceful slumber'.

And a veritable army of Yellow Pillow devotees flocked to the replies to back him up, while plenty of sceptics thought the whole thing was disgusting.

One commented to say they 'legit haven't rested comfortably since' getting rid of their loyal Yellow Pillow, and another said their 'life has been a downward spiral' since they got rid of theirs.

A third chipped in to say that part of being a man was 'using the same pillow since the age of 10 and never washing it'.

While the menfolk of social media were generally in agreement, there were others who thought the whole thing utterly disgusting.

Someone said the picture of The Yellow Pillow that Cam had posted was 'just like my husband's pillow' and revealed that 'he calls it seasoning' followed up by a vomiting emoji.

While one described it as 'the cast iron pan of being a sleepyhead', there were many who didn't want to stick their head in the cushiony equivalent of a cast iron pan when they slept.

Fair play to them.

So, I suppose the debate will continue to rage on as guys everywhere refuse to give up on their old reliable yellow pillow.
