phooie!

There is a little chineese tea cup stuck in the garbage disposal. No luck at getting it out with tape or suction.

Did you try tongs?

not enough room to grab. as far as we can tell, it's the *exact* size of the opening.

Fixodent. Warm up a tube, squeeze it down onto the cuo, then press something like chopsticks into the goop. Wait a few seconds, and ease the cup up.

The things you learn not having teeth...

oooh, that might work. Tried duct tape, and a suction cup, but there was enough resistance that they both popped off.

I can speak from experience that once it sets, you need to work to break that grip.

Might be a vacuum behind it, maybe work a popsicle stick in between it and the wall of the opening and tip that a little to let air in?
