Don’t ever dump that down the drain!

Yesterday I noticed in the cupboard a box of malt o’ meal that had been used for a recipe well over a year ago. Probably way longer then that it was opened so I decided to get rid of it. It was almost a full box and I figured it would make the garbage heavy for the garbage man so I thought dumping it down the sink and flushing it down with water would be a good idea. It was probably one of the worst ideas I’ve had in awhile. It plugged the sink so bad. I was able to take a lot out which turned to a play dough like substance but I couldn’t get it out of the drain. I had to use the toilet plunger and it has a small hole in it from a mouse so it didn’t work well. Two hours of plunging and bailing water out with a cup to get the grains out and it still was plugged. Ran down to the dollar general today to look for two sink plungers but they didn’t have any so I had to buy two toilet plungers. My husband went out and plunged the sink with them and minutes later it was unplugged. He is my hero today. I think I’ll call him that all day just for giggles.
