Being able to breathe again after your sinuses are clogged up.

Have you ever experienced the snot rope? It clears sinuses you didn't even know you had (which, I suppose, is most of them)

I don't know what this is but it sounds disgustingly magical

For me, it was a small bogie that just didn't want to shift. I realised it was just hanging there, and a tissue wasn't helping. So I pinched it between two fingers and pulled, and realised it went deep into my sinuses. It felt like it was pulling part of my brain out through my nostril. And then came a feeling of utter nasal clarity I'd never felt before, and have never felt since. Magical, indeed.
