    Clogged toilet
    At a party, someone put a plastic nip bottle in the toilet and it got stuck... I can here the nip jiggling around once in a while but for the most part it constricts the flow of toilet paper etc. and I have to use a plunger to free the flow... I've used a snake but can't seem to free it... any suggestions?? johnk2000

    When you say you have tried a snake, was it an actuall closter auger? I would try a closet auger first. If you can't push it through or pull the nip back out, then you will have to pull the toilet and try running the auger up from the bottom side of toilet. If you pull the toilet, look up the bottom side very closely and you may even be able to see the nip. Let me know what you find.

    I accidentally flushed an italian sausage down the toilet and now it is clogged. I have tried plunging it, routing it out, and draino. When you are done laughing (and telling sausage jokes) there are a lot of them. I would appreciate any assistance that you can give us.

    Thanks

    Hi peggy,

    You say you routed it out, but did you use an actuall closet auger?(see image above). With a closet auger you should be able to dislodge the sausage. Your best bet here may be to take the toilet up, and auger from the bottom side to shove the sausage back through the toilet. This way you won't send the item down the main drain. Good luck.
