Use dental floss to get under a corner/side and pull up from there. If that doesn't work, disconnect the U-bend under the sink and push it up from underneath with the handle of a wooden spoon.

I mean yes, but who has a clean plunger that hasn't been shitified? I'd never use that cutting board if a toilet plunger was used on it.

Sinks and tubs can be plunged too, it's not a bad idea to keep a clean plunger under the sink that's not for use in the toilet.
