I did that once with a plastic cup... I flushed it down... parents had to actually remove the toilet from the floor and snake the plumbing to get it out...I never told them that I did it, or what it was... I just played stupid

Plumbers dont like Drano cause its hard on the snake. If you did use Drano and tell the plmber that, he may be less then eager to run his snake down the drain.
Sometimes I find that the plunging won't work. It is because beneath the rim of the toilet there are holes where water comes out when you flush. When plunging, these holes interfere because they allow air to escape, so you are pushing air out of the holes rather than attacking the clog.
What I do is take the cover off of the tank and find the flapper valve, then I flush the toilet and wait untill it is about to overflow, at this point the water has risen above the rim bottom and covered the air holes, then I close the flapper valve with my hand so the toilet won't overflow and start plunging. It helps to have the plunger in posistion before starting. Since the water is covering all of the holes where air could escape from, the plunging works better. Just make sure you are ready with the flapper valve because you don't want the toilet to overflow. It's handy to know where it is anyway because if the toilet is ever about to overflow, you can close the flapper valve to stop it from happening.

Not quite.
Cadillac of Toilets, and Toyota of Toilets.
Those 2 phrases suggest different things.

My wife used to toss baby wipes down the toilet until I saw her doing it and told her that they don't turn into a mushy pulp like toilet paper does. Might as well stuff a wash cloth down there and expect it to flush...:roll:
