    Toytec ultimate lift kit, light racing UCAs, ARB bumper and full skid plates underneath. Looking into redoing the suspension and maybe repainting the ol' Taco.
    You could get a deep sea drilling rig, find the antipodal spot to your house (which is somewhere SE of South Africa, in the Indian Ocean) and start drilling, until you hit the apple and core it.

    You shouldn't have to do that.

    Get a toilet auger from Homboy Depot for $35. Anyone with kids or rental property's should have one. Very easy to use.

    If an apple is stuck in there, it may take awhile. Be patient.

    This video is cheesy, but it works:

    The guy said he clogged it with some paper towels but it looked like he took a shit as well.

    The tool is said to be used for soft blockages and I don't know if you could consider an apple a soft blockage. The guy in the video is getting his ass kicked by some paper towels. I think it would be easier and quicker to pull the toilet.

    Yes, wax ring= cheap. And pulling a shitter isn't that bad.

    Dude was having a real bad time with just paper, WET paper. The tool I have no doubt would be nice to have. But for this instance, just pull the toilet.

    certainly your choice.

    I didn't watch the video. I am a liscensed plumber & have used a toilet auger dozens of times on my personal rental homes, as well as doing service work in the past. It can be used in less than two minutes once you get the hang of it. I have removed toys, clothing, & ORANGES with it. Pulling a toilet is of course an option, but with more time & potential headaches & a mess.

    The toilet auger is a good weapon to have in your tool arsenal as a home owner, especially with kids.

    Good luck!!
