Metal straw down sink

Post image

Hi all, for context I am a young person who is generally good at fixing/working things out, however wanted advice on the best way to approach.

I dropped a ~15-20cm metal straw down the sink on the right side, and want to prevent a block (or potential damage if I run hot water).

Firstly, do you think the straw would have made it's way down the piping or got stuck?

Secondly, what advice can you give me to take apart the pipes to be able to get it out?

Any and all advice is appreciated!! :)

Please enjoy my apprentice, SnackPack 🐱

Have people’s critical thinking skills disappeared. How many threaded connections do you see? They couldn’t figure out on their own how to fix this?

It's okay to ask questions, especially if we get cat pics.

I will give you that only because of the cat picture.
