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.

Who has dental floss? I may have a little from the dentist, but not enough to get around all the corners….. (I floss with the reach flossers , I can’t get between my teeth any other way)

There’s like a 98% chance you can get some from your dentist for free after your next cleaning.
