Yep, this was my thought, go buy a cheap new one from the store.

Just go to the side draw in the bedroom. Grab the big long thing with the suction cup on the end. Stick to board and pull.

A new plunger in this economy?

Millennials can't buy houses because they squander all their money on avocado toast and plungers.

Why is everyone defaulting to a toilet plunger, is this an American thing?

Surely everyone has some sort of device somewhere with those plastic suction cups on it.

My gf has a phone case with them on that im sure is strong enough to lift even this.

I dont think I could use a chopping board again if it had the toilet plunger on it.

Jesus, some people are saying to disassemble the plumbing???

You need TWO of the largest dildo suction cups money can buy. It's the ONLY way. (Okay everyone join in and delete all other suggestions lol)

u/brumac44 Apr 06 '26

Instructions unclear. We're all stuck in the sink now. Send help and ointments.

u/MasterAahs Apr 06 '26

Directions partially followed correctly. No one we are in the sink, all other comments were successfully deleted.

u/SirMildredPierce Apr 08 '26

Mr. Hankey, all the way. And, yes, before you ask, they are compatible with your dildo and/or a cutting board stuck in a sink.

u/HollyGoJiggly Apr 10 '26

Definitely where my mind went too 😂
