My kitchen sink clogged up right before a party and I had to get creative

I was in my apartment in Austin last Saturday, washing veggies for a cookout, when the water just stopped draining. I didn't have a plunger or drain snake. I remembered reading about using baking soda and vinegar, so I poured about half a cup of baking soda down, followed by a cup of white vinegar. It fizzed like crazy for a minute, then I flushed it with hot water from my kettle. The drain cleared right up! Has anyone found a better fix for a sudden clog without special tools?

Wait you had a kettle in Austin? That's the real shocker, not the clog. I've never met anyone here who owns one. Guess it came in handy though.

Hold up, why is a kettle such a big deal. It's a pot that boils water. Not exactly rare tech. Do people just microwave their water there? That's the real shocker.

Yeah, the microwave thing is wild. My buddy tried that once and it shot boiling water all over his kitchen.
